One major issue that has been brought up within the FCC this year is the issue of net neutrality. The bill proposed in the house wants to keep the internet as a place of free speech, as well as innovation and job growth. Many are afraid that big internet companies are going to control the content of the internet and what is provided to the common person, so this bill would act as a way to ensure this doesn't happen. Many believe that the bill will provide a long term solution for an issue that has plagued America for the past two years. I agree with the bill, the internet is a place where anything can be said and it needs to remain that way. It has influenced powerful things such as the revolution in Egypt. If we start to censor the internet, it starts to look more and more like a dictatorship. This bill will give us all security and peace of mind.
