Simply put, net neutrality protects consumers from predatory practices by large corporations, an acceptable use of government regulation that has proven useful in regulating other public utilities, such as water and electricity.<\/p>\n<p>The FCC\u2019s meeting starts at 10:30 Eastern time and can be viewed at this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fcc.gov\/live\">FCC livestream link<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Editor\u2019s note: The \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/fcc-just-voted-begin-destroying-internet-freedom-overturn-net-neutrality\/\">Destroying Internet Freedom<\/a>\u201d motion passed with a 2-1 vote.

The letter started simply:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe free and open internet as we know it is at risk.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Additionally, several groups of startups, tech companies, and non profits such as Fight For The Future and even a late show have also made the stand, helping guide real users to the FCC\u2019s comment page so that they can leave comments.

According to data analysis by <a href=\"https:\/\/jeffreyfossett.com\/2017\/05\/13\/fcc-filings.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jeffrey Fossett<\/a>, even once you account for the most commonly submitted anti net neutrality comments, the majority of comments to the FCC are still\u00a0<em>for<\/em> net neutrality.

However, even that data showed that the majority of people supported net neutrality \u2013 a claim that some ISPs and even Ajit Pai himself have also made.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/ajit-pai-whether-comments-net-neutrality-change-fccs-mind-repealing-title-ii-open-mind\/\">Ajit Pai<\/a> has indicated that it is possible that the comments may sway the FCC\u2019s mind on doing away with net neutrality. Even if the FCC votes to keep net neutrality today, there is still the\u00a0Senate proposal, the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/9-senators-proposed-bill-kill-net-neutrality-called-restoring-internet-freedom-act\/\">Restoring Internet Freedom Act<\/a>,\u201d which would also repeal net neutrality rules, to fight against. If the FCC votes to begin the process of repealing net neutrality rules today, the process would open up another 3 month comment period before a final vote at the FCC meeting on\u00a0August
