The internet is a relatively new invention but it has quickly become a big part of almost everyone's lives. It's meant to be an easily accessible place, free for everyone to use, that allows you to go to any website or place online you want. The internet gives us the ability to connect with other people, no matter where they are, and that's pretty awesome.
The big idea that makes the internet such a cool place is that it's available for everyone to use, and doesn't give anyone special treatment. The problem is, that these most basic aspect of the internet could be taken away.
Internet Service Providers, or ISPs want to be able to manipulate the places we are able to go online. They have the potential to make us pay for workable internet speeds and pay to visit certain websites. They could also make it harder for us to get to pages they don't want us to see, like pages advertising their competitors, or pages that voice views they don't agree with.

Net Neutrality would protect us from these things happening by making sure ISPs can't give special treatment and better internet to any websites or higher paying customers or companies, while simultaneously giving everyone else worse connection. It would protect against this biased way of limiting our freedom to see, access, and share what we want online. This example of the internet without Net Neutrality shows what a difference this could make.

The internet is an amazing place that's free to the public, and we want to keep it that way. We can't let ISPs control what we can and can not access online. It's important for us to fight to make sure we can keep our internet the way it's supposed to be.
