Net Neutrality Means A Free and Open Internet for Everyone

Ang mga Amerikano ay umaasa sa internet upang ma-access ang impormasyong kinakailangan para makapag-aral, makakuha ng trabaho, makatanggap ng pangangalagang pangkalusugan, at makasali sa ating demokratikong proseso.

The open internet, or net neutrality, is the principle of online fairness. It enables everyone to share ideas, information and other content on the internet without throttling, censorship, or extra fees from big internet service providers.

An open internet – or net neutrality – is an important step for achieving digital democracy.

Since the repeal of net neutrality in 2017,  ISPs have been free to restrict access to online content, prioritize paid targeted advertisements, and sell your personal browsing data. Now the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has restored our internet protections! Net Neutrality provides Americans with key protections that ensure our right to information access is respected by our Internet Providers.

  1. No Blocking Access to Online Content
  2. No Slowing or Speeding Internet Access
  3. No Paid Prioritization Schemes

Simply put, net neutrality is the principle of open access to the internet.

It enables users to access the services they want without interference from their internet service provider (ISP).

In 2015, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) comprehensively codified net neutrality protections by using its authority under Title II of the Communications Act of 1934 to classify ISPs – like Comcast and AT&T – as common carriers. Under this approach, the FCC articulated three bright line rules that ISPs must adhere to: (1) no blocking content; (2) no speeding or slowing content; and (3) no engaging in paid prioritization schemes where customers could be charged special fees for improved access.

Everyone benefits from the open exchange of information that net neutrality affords, but these protections are particularly important for individuals and groups whose voices have historically been silenced or suppressed. The internet has been a powerful organizing tool of our time, allowing social justice movements to gain momentum and widespread support. Without net neutrality, ISPs will have the ability to censor or limit political speech online, threatening to stop movements like these in their tracks.
