Net Neutrality

          
          Do you want big businesses to own the internet?  Big businesses, such as Google, Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Cox, Comcast,  and Time Warner Brother Cable are trying to dispose of the law that creates net neutrality.  Net neutrality is the principle that everyone should treat data on the internet equally, without any discrimination. This is important to both corporations and consumers because it would allow them to have priority over other internet websites, thus increasing the speed of their website as long as they pay extra.  For consumers this would mean that only big companies would be able to have fast internet so little businesses would go bankrupt, thus limiting competition and increasing prices.  The FCC controls the neutrality of the internet because is in charge of all communications, including the internet, radio, and television.
