Today I'm going to speak
about the net neutrality, which is a topic that not everybody knows about but that is
so important for our lives.
Firstly I
will explain what the net neutrality is. The net neutrality is the principle by
which all the Internet traffic should be treated equally. It basically means
that internet is an information network and it will be more useful if it is
public and if everybody has the same rights and duties.
The net
neutrality was overthrown in 2017 in EEUU and for a lot of people it means the
end of the Internet like it was. Why? The answer is that it allows the ISPs or Internet Service Providers to control the Internet and use it to make a fortune. For example they will make that some
services as mails or video games have bad internet connection and will make the
companies that use those services to pay more money. Another way in which they
can use the end of the net neutrality is that the ISPs can create two
internets, one for the rich people and another for the poor ones. These are some
reasons why some people have decided to fight against the end of the net neutrality.
Some of the most famous organizations are Fight for the future, Demand Progress y Free Press in which they have been fighting for ten years against the end of the net neutrality. All these organizations have created a movement called "battle for the net" in which they fight against the FFC (Federal Communications Commission) that are the organizations that apply censorship to media as for example TV or radio.
How will the battle for the net finish? It is difficult to predict because we, the people, are fighting for the net neutrality but the other team has the power of money and they are very powerful. So far, they have won the first battle, but the war will be long. Like the 22 million people who have already shown their rejection to the end of the net neutrality, I am absolutely against the end of it and I think that we have to fight because the Internet belongs to everybody and it should continue like that.
The end of net neutrality is a very big problem. Imagine not being able to browse your favorite website because you didn't pay the extra fee. For the moment it has only happened in the United States but as it is one of the most worldwide powers it will have an impact in the whole world.
