During a
press conference organized by local network engineer Sean
Nestor and Move to Amend Toledo activist Doug Jambard-Sweet
at The Truth Art Gallery at 1811 Adams Street, Gerken said
the internet should not be subjected to unfair pricing
constraints.
The
Federal Communications Commission voted in December to
repeal net neutrality which will enable broadband providers
to block websites and charge for services. Ohio Attorney
General Mike Dewine supports that decision.
There is
a lawsuit pending against the FCC to repeal the vote and 22
states attorneys general have joined the suit so far.
The
speakers at Thursday’s press conference expressed the hope
that voters will realize what is happening and stand up to
protect a free and open internet. |
