Net Neutrality

      No Comments on Net Neutrality

What if your internet provider decided to prohibit you from accessing the Internet on all Apple devices, or Windows devices, etc.? I bet you’d be upset. If you don’t want your Internet Service Provider to regulate your access to Internet based on platform, domain, service, or charge you different amounts for the same bandwidth use on different sites, you should care about Net Neutrality.

There have been several campaigns to educate the public about net neutrality. I took screenshots of a website participating in this campaign on September 12, 2014. The aim of this particular campaign was to highlight how a lack of net neutrality could create a disparity in access to different online sites/services.
