WhatsApp Blocked in Brazil

Breaking News:

The court of Brazil has ordered that the messenger app "WhatsApp" be shut down in Brazil for 48 hours. This is ridiculous because so many people worldwide not only in Brazil rely on this app to communicate. We need to bring net neutrality to Brazil! This hit me hard because I'm from Brazil. Net neutrality should be available worlwide.

This Is Why We Should Care

The Ongoing Debate

If you are still confused as to  which side of the spectrum you fall under, maybe this article will help you make up your mind. This article thoroughly provides both a pros and cons section. Although, in my opinion I feel the pros are way more than enough to outweigh the cons. For example, net neutrality rules that we shall not be charged extra by our ISP's in accordance with the content we use the internet for. They try to combat that with saying that a higher rate will ensure a better service. But my question is, why pay extra for something we should already be getting with our normal rates?

Know Your Rights!

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has adopted three key rules for cable companies:

• No Blocking: broadband providers may not block access to legal content, applications, services, or non-harmful devices.
• No Throttling: broadband providers may not impair or degrade lawful Internet traffic on the basis of content, applications, services, or non-harmful devices.
• No Paid Prioritization: broadband providers may not favor some lawful Internet traffic over other lawful traffic in exchange for consideration – in other words, no “fast lanes” – including fast lanes for affiliates.
