Comcast, Verizon and the other major internet providers that almost surely will be making them hope you won\u2019t notice. But unless Congress or the courts intervene, in a few weeks or perhaps months your daily experience online will be changing \u2013 and unfortunately not for the better.\r\n\r\nAlterations approved months ago to the Federal Communications Commission\u2019s \u201cnet neutrality\u201d rules take effect today. They give internet companies permission to play favorites among websites, moving content from some at higher speeds and slowing down or even blocking others entirely.\r\n\r\nThe new rules are bad news for our democracy. In just a few years, the internet has become something of a national and international town hall meeting. Net neutrality guaranteed that the forum would be open to everyone; with its demise, internet providers are free to slap surcharges on websites that generate content they don\u2019t like and\/or slow down the way that content makes its way to your computer or mobile device.\r\n\r\n\u201cMonopoly phone and cable companies will undoubtedly seek to maximize profits by favoring their own content over their competitors and creating fast lanes and slow lanes ultimately at the expense of consumers,\u201d said former FCC Commissioner Michael Copps, now special adviser to Common Cause\u2019s Media and Democracy Reform Initiative.\r\n\r\n\u201cAt a time when access to a free and open internet is so vital to our democracy, the official repeal opens the door to the \u2018cableization\u2019 of the internet \u2013 where your provider can control where you go, what you see, and what you do online,\u201d Copps added.\r\n\r\n\u201cBut the fight to restore the FCC\u2019s net neutrality rules is far from over,\u201d he said. \u201cCommon Cause and its allies are working on all fronts to reverse the FCC\u2019s disastrous repeal, including state legislation and the Congressional Review Act. An overwhelming majority of Americans have made it loud and clear that they want the net neutrality rules. Now is the time for our lawmakers to listen to their constituents and take action to quickly restore the rules.\u201d\r\n\r\nMore than 20 million people called, emailed, wrote, or petitioned the FCC and\/or Congress to hold on to the old rules, which were approved during the Obama administration. They required that all web content be treated equally.\r\n\r\nThe U.S. Senate apparently heard those pleas and voted 52-47 last month to reverse the FCC and retain the net neutrality protections. But action under the Congressional Review Act also requires approval in the House, where Republican leaders have shown zero interest in bringing the issue up for a vote.\r\n\r\nAdditional court challenges to the FCC action also are underway and legislatures in several states have adopted net neutrality protections of their own.\r\n\r\n###"}}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.6 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
