Take Action!
The Senate voted to save net neutrality. Now we need the House of Representatives to do the same, or else the FCC will let ISPs like Comcast and Verizon ruin the internet with throttling, censorship and unnecessary fees. Write your lawmakers now!

Thanks. I will spred the news about this website. Checkout https://nuclear-news.net/.
Thanks, Ken. Will check out your site, too.
Some deal went down because i get that privacy disclaimer a lot now. They probly exhanged privacy rights or not slowing the inet
Ken, the privacy disclaimers that you are reading on many different websites is because of a European law that went in effect recently (May 25). It doesn’t have anything to do with Net Neutrality.
The latest info on Net Neutrality is at this link, where you can also contact your Congress member: https://www.battleforthenet.com/redalert/

I did realise that.
Very good.
There have been threats to cut public broadcasting in the US, too, but that is another topic.
I could see a connection. That’s why I commented, but take you point.
The Australian conservative budget plans to cut funding to the pubic broadcaster by AUD84 million. One commentator said, “It’s payback.”
I’m guessing you are talking about public broadcasting on TV, yes? This is about the Internet in the United States.
