Net Neutrality Rant

Net Neutrality rant

Y'all, this is really getting out of hand. Net Neutrality is really important, and we all need. It.

Let’s go over some facts, shall we?

One, the tags. As you probably know or have noticed, is that whenever you try to follow the net neutrality tag, Tumblr makes you unfollow it in 20 minutes. Yeah, it’s horrible.

Two, college students. What are they gonna do? Pay for that? Please, unless you actually have money to pay for that, college is gonna suck more than usual. Need to type up an essay? Nope. E-Mail your professor? Not today, or ever. Need to do a project that involves the help of a laptop or internet? Too bad. Don’t even try to tell me that “they’re college students, they can pay for it themselves!” Because, please, in my town, you have to pay 50 DOLLARS every fourth of a semester to PARK YOUR CAR. And textbooks won’t help the budget thing either. Can’t purchase them online anymore, can you?

Lastly, ARTISTS AND OTHERS WHO MAKE PROFIT FROM THE WEB. Sure, maybe SOME of them can pay for internet, but their fans and support? Not so much. And the people who can’t afford the internet? They’ll have to get a low-paid half-time job to pay for rent, food, and everything else life has to offer.

WE NEED TO KEEP NET NEUTRALITY, DON’T LET IT DIE.

Farewell online privacy

Tried to @ the staff to get them specifically but magically my app decides to crash only then. DO NOT FORGET ABOUT NET NEUTRALITY!

NET NEUTRALITY ENSURES THAT EVERYONE CAN USE THE INTERNET FREELY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THE NET NEUTRALITY TAG AND REBLOG AS MUCH AS YOU CAN! DONT FOLLOW THE TAG, JUST SEARCH AND REBLOG WHAT YOU CAN. TUMBLR IS MAKING PEOPLE AUTO UNFOLLOW THE NET NEUTRALITY TAG AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES, SO KEEP LOOKING, KEEP REBLOGING, AND KEEP CALLING THE FIVE WHO HAVE AA VOTE IN OUR FREEDOM TO USE THE INTERNET!

goddamn tumblr has changed since it got bought out by verizon, like, back in 2014 they pulled a fucking tumblr mobile simulator for desktop on us to warn us about the last dust-up about net neutrality, then wouldn’t let you post/scroll down your dash/do fucking anything on this godforsaken hellsite until you confirmed that you had contacted your representatives, but now? they unfollow you from the net neutrality tag in 30 minutes?

verizon is pulling a fuckdamn “i’m sorry the old tumblr can’t come to the phone right now. why? oh, ‘cause she’s dead!” on us
