As Mark Dunbar addresses in his article, “A Tighter Net: FCC Hands Strings to Internet Service Providers,” net neutrality is essential to protect organizing groups like the American Humanist Association and other advocacy organizations.

The telecommunications industry wants to become the renter class of the digital age. It also wants the power to censor speech it doesn’t like and promote speech it does. First ISPs [internet service providers] will censor terrorists and criminals. Then it’ll be radicals and organizers.
