Net Neutrality

What is net neutrality? This is a vocabulary term that has recently been popping up all over the internet. This is the idea that protects certain websites from being slowed or blocked. Recently there was a vote to get rid of this idea, to make it so that certain internet providers can charge for certain websites. This is a great opportunity for companies to make money. This would allow them to partner with certain providers, so that their websites could be prioritized. While this could save money for some it could also cause others the opposite. The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) were the first to vote on this issue and they ended up repealing net neutrality. In simpler terms this means that a neutral internet may not exist. Though there is still a way for the FCC’s decision to be reversed, if congress decides to vote for net neutrality then nothing will change; however, if they don't, then we will soon be moving into a new system of internet.

I've heard that this decision may be reversed. Anything is possible.
