The ACLU Answers the Key Questions


Don't let the big telecoms trade your free speech for their own profit

The Internet has become so much a part of the lives of most Americans that it is easy to imagine that it is immune to change – that it will always remain the free and open medium that it is now. But there are no such guarantees.

If the telecommunication companies have their way, "Net Neutrality" could be a thing of the past; profits and corporate objectives could determine what you see and how you see it. Some of the strongest supporters of net neutrality lost their seats in the recent election, so telecom lobbyists will have more power than ever.

Get involved or wonder what happened, they are working for corporations not the regular people to squeeze every nickel of every minute of every day.
