The Save the Internet Act would reverse one of the most unpopular policy changes of this administration.

… there’s a battle happening right now in the United States over the basic principle that makes the internet so transformative: Net neutrality, or the idea that the company from whom you purchase internet access doesn’t have the right to control or manipulate what you use it for. For example, Comcast (the parent company of NBC Universal) shouldn’t be able to force Xfinity users to read NBC News over CNN, and Verizon (the new parent company of Yahoo and the Huffington Post) shouldn’t be able to manipulate Fios customers into reading Yahoo News instead of the New York Times.

Net neutrality isn’t just about how fast your videos load, it’s about the free flow of information and ideas.
