Hi everyone.
For those readers in the U.S., or those following current situations here, you may know that Net Neutrality was repealed today by the Federal Communications Commission. For anyone not familiar with the concept, Net Neutrality is essentially the notion of a free internet, where an ISP cannot legally charge you extra for certain websites or block/slow content they disagree with. If you’d like to read more, I’ll leave the Wikipedia link here.
I know that over the past few months, the thought of losing Net Neutrality has become a frightening thing for many people. I have particularly noticed that members of the LGBTQA+ community feel this very deeply, as for some, myself included, the internet is a safe haven where we find support, friends, and information. It is an invaluable resource which we have grown accustomed to using in order to build communities and live our daily lives.
