Google, Amazon Join Online Protest of Net Neutrality Change
Posted in: Uncategorized
How many online activists does it take to save Silicon Valley’s favorite Obama-era regulation?
Organizers of an online protest aimed at derailing a Republican plan to roll back net neutrality rules are hoping the magic number is 70,000. That’s the number of sites and organizations — including Amazon.com, Google, Facebook and even President Donald Trump’s favored medium, Twitter — that have pledged to participate.
On Wednesday, the big commercial sites will join scores of online activists and businesses in telling users about the change planned in Washington — and ask the visitors to contact Congress and the Federal Communications Commission, where Republican Chairman Ajit Pai, a Trump appointee, commands a majority and is moving toward gutting the rule against interfering with web traffic.
