A Guide to the Open Internet

Net neutrality, sometimes called Internet Freedom, is the idea that your internet service provider (ISP) should treat all websites the same. ISPs like AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast want to treat them differently so they can charge for access.

On December 14, 2017 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is planning to eliminate net neutrality rules, effectively allowing ISPs to become the gatekeepers of the Internet and making it legal for them to block websites and services.
