Mozilla conducted a survey in which it found that a majority of Americans do not trust the government to protect Internet access. From an article, shared by a reader:

A recent public opinion poll carried out by Mozilla and Ipsos revealed overwhelming support across party lines for net neutrality, with over three quarters of Americans (76%) supporting net neutrality. Eighty-one percent of Democrats and 73% of Republicans are in favor of it. Another key finding: Most Americans do not trust the U.S. government to protect access to the Internet. Seventy percent of Americans place no or little trust in the Trump administration or Congress (78%) to do so. Mozilla and Ipsos carried out the poll in late May, on the heels of the FCC's vote to begin dismantling Obama-era net neutrality rules. We polled approximately 1,000 American adults across the U.S., a sample that included 354 Democrats, 344 Republicans, and 224 Independents.

1. Most Americans aren't bribing -- oops I mean lobbying -- Congress (nt)

2. This issue, perhaps more than all others, will bring people together

I've been reading various chat boards about this topic. Young people of all political beliefs are up in arms about it. There's talk of civil disobedience on a large scale, peaceful and non, from marches to axing isp cables, to kidnapping company ceos.

The oligarchs should tread lightly on this one.
