Advocates for Net Neutrality meet here

It's too bad the internet became such a success. Don't get me wrong, I love the internet. Where else can I connect with friends while simultaneously watching cat videos and listening to a digitally remastered version of Pink Floyd's album Dark Side of the Moon. Maybe that's why 40% of the worlds population is using the World Wide Web while only 5% were using it in 2000. It's hard not go get sucked into it because of the convince it brings to one's daily life. The problem is, there are other people noticing these huge increase in numbers with other intentions than enjoying it's convenience 

The internet is a very personal thing in more ways than one. It's like a friend you trust to open up to and hope will respect that. Lately, people are loosing their trust for the internet. It's hard not to when you know there is someone watching you, using your data for their own benefit. It's also hard not to while people in ivory towers are discussing how to squeeze every penny from you they can while they try to ax the competition of smaller entities. We should not just sit back and hope for net neutrality to come our way. Everyone deserves a free internet with less surveillance. Individually, we all need to make an effort to end fragmentation. As Tim Berners-Lee said in his Ted Talk, we are viewing the internet through "rose colored spectacles."There is so much on the internet to experience, we shouldn't exclude ourselves from those opportunities. There is hope for net neutrality, let's not let this hope fade.
