Net Neutrality = Net Brutality

If the internet isn’t broken, why fix it? “Net neutrality” is a veiled push by the Federal Communications Commission to expand its powers to regulate price and access level provided by internet companies. Even though this regulation was recently struck down by a D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals decision, the FCC is now turning its attention to using its powerful influence to sway lawmakers in Congress hoping to seize control on the internet. Think about it. The government’s track record in managing its own affairs is bad enough—don’t let it control the internet. Don’t let politicians and bureaucrats neuter the net. Call, write, and otherwise harass your congressman. Say “no” to net brutality. Tell Congress and the FCC to keep their hands off the internet. Net Neutrality = Net Brutality NoNetBrutality.com is a grassroots campaign to raise public awareness for this threat, to bring all net neutrality opponents together under one common banner and to petition the FCC stop its attempts to regulate the internet. NoNetBrutality.com was launched in April 2010 by six liberty-minded activists from six different countries who fear that the current attempts of the U.S. government to restrict access to the internet might be followed by other governments if we don’t fight these flawed and dangerous ideas now—before they can spread and take root all around the globe.

If the internet isn’t broken, why fix it?

“Net neutrality” is a veiled push by the Federal Communications Commission to expand its powers to

regulate price and access level provided by internet companies. Even though this regulation was recently struck down by a D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals decision, the FCC is now turning its attention

to using its powerful influence to sway lawmakers in Congress hoping to seize control on the internet.

Think about it. The government’s track record in managing its own affairs is bad enough—don’t let it

control the internet. Don’t let politicians and bureaucrats neuter the net. Call, write, and otherwise harass your congressman. Say “no” to net brutality. Tell Congress and the FCC to keep their hands off

the internet.
