When net neutrality was a pressing issue, people from all over the world were talking about it, our dashes were most likely all filled with reblogs and posts about net neutrality and it’s only fair that this gets the same amount of attention because this is just as serious, scary and threatening as net neutrality was.

The internet is an amazing place full of likeminded people and I’m so scared to lose all this. The internet is a home for so many, where they can find themselves, express themselves, talk to friends, get to know other people, other cultures, new music and so much more. We can’t just let this die.
