Who decided we have to give up pure and wholesome things just to grow up? Sleeping with a little Pikachu plushie does not mean I donât also make my own doctor appointments.
Forgive my ignorance, but what's happening in these pictures with 3 and 4?
No please
AHHHH NO
This isnât my type of post but Net Neutrality is so important.
Forget your pageâs aesthetic, share this with everyone you know. Without Net Neutrality, the internet itself would change.
Companies would be able to charge websites if they want them to load faster than others on your computer. This means that they would purposefully bottleneck speeds on every website that doesnât have the funding to pay for it faster speed. Thereâs NO reason for this. Are you a small business with a website and canât afford to pay enough to get faster speeds? Too bad. Are you someone with a personal blog? Slow page loading. Do you want to view a website written by a nonprofit organization for your school project? Youâll have to wait until the page loads because, since theyâre nonprofit, they canât afford to pay enough to cable companies so that their page loads faster.
An alternative to this would be having to pay for faster internet. Internet service should be priced by usage, not speed. For home internet, unlimited use isnât all that expensive so itâs really common. You wouldnât want to pay extra for more speed.
This would possibly affect the way that the internet works on other devices such as your phone, gaming system, laptop, tablet, etc.
We NEED Net Neutrality.
If a company doesnât agree with a specific website, they could purposefully limit traffic to their site. This would be censorship, something that nobody likes.
There are many other reason as to why you should protect Net Neutrality.
This is an issue whether youâre a Republican, Democrat, Left-wing, Right-wing, young, old, male, female, rich, poor, etc.
EVERYONE SHOULD ADVOCATE FOR NET NEUTRALITY.
A few months ago I lost my kitty of 8 years
He was my comfort and my best friend
My last wish for him would be this picture of him in a sweater to go viral
Okay, excuse my sad rant here but Iâm genuinely upset that hardly anyone remembers Dragon Hunters. And if they do the fan base is small. It was my favorite movie as a kid and once I remembered that I have it I started searching online and found the animated series and Iâve tried to find art and fics and Iâve found some and Iâve looked at it. Itâs all great, good, everything cool, but itâs sad that the fandom isnât bigger
As of July 4th 2018, the Internet as we know it might be dead for good.Â
The European Parliament is passing a new Copyright Directive. Article 13 #CensorshipMachine will impose widespread censorship of all the content we share online. Art, fanfiction, parodies, remixes, mashups, memes, etc.. Anything that you do not hold the rights over will be taken down.Â
Article 13 would force all online platforms to police and prevent the uploading of copyrighted content, or make people seek the correct licenses to post that content. Internet platforms hosting large amounts of user-uploaded content must monitor user behaviour and filter their contributions to identify and prevent copyright infringement.Â
Such filters will be mandatory for platforms including YouTube, Facebook, Tumblr, Reddit and Instagram, but also much smaller websites.Â

This doesnât just affect Europe. The content creators you love are going to be in hot water for sharing their art and writing with you online. Any and all content that doesnât belong to us will be filtered. Even memes are at risk, as the person who took the original photo may want to file complaints against any platform that allows it to be used without permission. But it goes even further than that.
Last Tuesday (19th June 2018) a group of more than 70 people who have played important roles in building the internet and developing it (Tim Berners-Lee, Vincent Cerf, Jimmy Wales, Mitchell BakerâŠ) into what it is today addressed an open letter to the members of the European Parliament:
âAs creators ourselves, we share the concern that there should be a fair distribution of revenues from the online use of copyright works, that benefits creators, publishers, and platforms alike.
But Article 13 is not the right way to achieve this. By requiring Internet platforms to perform automatic filtering all of the content that their users upload, Article 13 takes an unprecedented step towards the transformation of the Internet from an open platform for sharing and innovation, into a tool for the automated surveillance and control of its users. [âŠ] The damage that this may do to the free and open Internet as we know it is hard to predict, but in our opinions could be substantial.â
Here is the original Article 13. Itâs even scarier. / Link 2Â
Here is how to contact your MEPs.Â
Here is a full list of everything that will be affected.
