Public Event: The Fate of Net Neutrality in the U.S.
Net neutrality is under siege.
Despite protests from millions of Americans, FCC Chairman Ajit Pai is moving forward with plans to dismantle hard-won open internet protections.
"Abandoning these core protections will hurt consumers and small businesses alike," Mozilla's Heather West penned in an open letter to Pai earlier this week, during Pai's visit to San Francisco.
The FCC may vote to gut net neutrality as early as October. What does this mean for the future of the internet?
Join Mozilla and the nation's leading net neutrality experts at a free, public event on September 18 to discuss just this. We will gather at the Internet Archive to discuss why net neutrality matters to a healthy internet - and what can be done to protect it.
