The \u201cRemoval of Net Neutrality Simulator\u201d is a new Google Chrome browser extension<\/a> created by the good activists at Keep Our Net Free for education and awareness purposes which simulates an online world without net neutrality (NN) where internet service providers (ISPs) control and squeeze your internet browsing experience for extra profit. The extension\u2019s functionality and stated goals are simple:<\/p>\n

To demonstrate the impact of removing Net Neutrality, this extension slows your internet connection and blocks several websites.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

All it takes is a few minutes of using the Internet with the \u201cRemoval of Net Neutrality Simulator\u201d\u00a0to get a clear grasp of why consumers deserve net neutrality. The creators of the dystopian simulator explained:<\/p>\n

This extension shows you what the ramifications of this decision would be by slowing all websites except for \u201csponsored sites\u201d, and blocking content those sites\u2019 competitors\u2019 websites.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Google Chrome extension shows you an Internet without net neutrality<\/h2>\n

\"redditWhen browsing Reddit, you\u2019ll have to navigate through a popup that stops loading your desired Reddit page and suggested that you use the \u201cISP approved\u201d Myspace network instead.<\/p>\n

If you try to go to Google\u2019s YouTube, you\u2019ll quickly be prompted to try out Vimeo instead. Similarly, using Google Search will show a suggestion to use Microsoft Bing. While these might not be the exact scenarios that play out if net neutrality is killed by the US government, they examples are particularly illustrative. The \u201cRemoval of Net Neutrality Simulator\u201d is just a tease of how bad it can be if NN\u00a0is removed. In reality, instead of pop ups kindly suggesting that you use another site, ISPs\u00a0could straight up redirect you or otherwise shape your traffic. If you are unable to buffer\u00a0any Youtube video in a reasonable amount of time, even at 480p, because Google didn\u2019t want to pay your ISP\u2019s net neutrality blackmail fee, you\u2019d have a clear disincentive to using YouTube and a clear incentive to switch to Vimeo.<\/p>\n

This extension will raise awareness for net neutrality all around the world, not just in the United States. The fight to keep our net free is an international one. It\u2019s true that\u00a0some countries, like Canada<\/a>, have enacted sweeping net neutrality protections. Other governments, like the Indian government<\/a>\u00a0for instance,\u00a0have revealed their stance on the open internet\u00a0over and over again with UN-disapproved region wide internet shutdowns.<\/p>\n

It is ever important to fight for NN because nothing will be there to stop this type of anti-consumer behavior if the FCC removes open internet\u00a0protections in August of this year. Currently, the plan by the FCC is to allow internet service providers (ISPs) to pinky promise<\/a> not to violate open internet\u00a0principles. While some ISPs have publicly stated that they believe in the general ideas behind an open internet, the actions of these ISPs reveal their true feelings. When allowed, ISPs have been experimenting with NN\u00a0violating programs such as zero-rating. ISPs have even been caught specifically throttling p2p traffic in the past. This is why you must comment. This is why you must march. This is why, if you believe in the Internet, you must stand up for net neutrality.<\/p>\n
