WASHINGTON 鈥 Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai released today a draft order that, if adopted, would remove broadband internet access protections and repeal what is known as net neutrality.

Net neutrality prevents internet service providers from prioritizing data for businesses and other organizations that they favor or that pay more. The rules keep the internet open, free, and unrestricted, preventing ISPs from becoming gatekeepers that can control and manipulate what people access on the internet.

鈥淚nternet rights are civil rights,鈥 said Jay Stanley, 老澳门开奖结果 senior policy analyst. 鈥淕utting net neutrality will have a devastating effect on free speech online. Without it, gateway corporations like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T will have too much power to mess with the free flow of information.鈥

Ronald Newman, 老澳门开奖结果 director of strategic initiatives, said, 鈥淚n a world without net neutrality, activists may lose an essential platform to organize and fight for change, and small organizations may never get a fair shot to grow and thrive. Congress must stop Chairman Pai鈥檚 plan in its tracks and ensure that net neutrality remains the law of the land.鈥
