Internet-wide day of action to save net neutrality on July 12th

Amazon and Reddit try to save net neutrality rules in “day of action”
Activists and websites plan "Internet-wide day of action" on July 12.

Amazon, Reddit, Mozilla, and other Internet companies are joining net neutrality activists next month for an "Internet-wide day of action to save net neutrality."

"The FCC wants to destroy net neutrality and give big cable companies control over what we see and do online," activist groups Fight for the Future, Free Press, and Demand Progress said in an announcement today. "If they get their way, they’ll allow widespread throttling, blocking, censorship, and extra fees. On July 12th, the Internet will come together to stop them."

On that day, websites who sign up for the protest will "sound the alarm about the FCC’s attack on net neutrality." While the announcement referred to previous protests such as the SOPA blackout in 2012 and Internet Slowdown Day in 2014, it's not clear yet exactly what the websites involved in the new protest will be doing on July 12.

Activists and websites are still developing specific plans, but "the basic idea is that major websites, startups, blogs, and forums will display a prominent message and provide their visitors with tools to easily contact Congress and the FCC to oppose the plan to gut net neutrality protections," a Demand Progress spokesperson told Ars. "Internet users will also be encouraged to upload and share videos about why net neutrality and Internet freedom are important to them."
