As had been widely anticipated, on Thursday, December 14, the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted 3-2 to repeal the net neutrality regulations put in place by the agency two years ago. Why should you care? Because if critics are right, it may hinder your ability to access your favorite social media apps, play video games, or stream movies.

        I think this a really unfair concept. The repeal of net neutrality will lead to having the internet providers getting more money. I know for a fact that Ajit Pai worked as a Verizon lawyer and this definitely benefits them. This repeal will lead to the people not getting the freedom they deserve and companies asking for money. This will lead to more money for them and less for the people. What Ajit Pai call freedom I call injustice to the people and small companies. The ban is clearly unfair, I don’t know how Congress voted on this law. This clearly gives them money. I am against this, they have taken away are freedom on them internet. Like Patrick Henry said “ Give me freedom or give me death,” but in this case, “Give me net or take my freedom of searching.

              What would you choose, a chance at being rich or having fun on the internet? You can also use your ISP for wifi.

                Very unfair, looks like nowadays the only important thing is money. Now this is affecting what we want to watch and what quality we want to watch it in. I don’t want to watch a video buffering every 10 seconds! Why must we have to put up with that? Worst of all, we now have to pay for websites! Websites! This is a horrible idea and soon families will have no choice but to hardly use the websites they love again. I am very disappointed that people care so much about money and are crazy enough to take away our beautiful privilege, Net Neutrality.

                          Well the people who made the websites have to pay to keep them on the internet. So the only thing that changes is that now, the VIEWER has to pay.
