Abstract

Reynolds talks about an online protest supporting the principle of net neutrality. Its backers believe that Internet service providers should not be allowed to prioritize some types of web traffic over others. ISPs should not be able to accept payment from Amazon, for example, to make sure that its website loads faster than competing sites. The protest arose because the US Federal Communications Commission--the government agency that regulates the country's ISPs--wants to overturn rules, dating from Barack Obama's presidency, that uphold net neutrality. In May, the FCC voted to repeal an earlier ruling that defined broadband as a public utility, meaning that ISPs are obliged to make their services available to the public at a reasonable price
