Verizon is killing Tumblr’s fight for net neutrality

whotookcheesuschrist:

I bring up this almost year-old article because a few minutes ago, after I had logged into tumblr, I got a few messages from my friend Mirrorfalls. But for some reason there were some odd messages there. I can’t remember them now, but they were weird, and I couldn’t see any of my other messages.

I refreshed the Tumblr page but it took me to a site about Oath – A Verizon Company, that encouraged me to go through my privacy settings, something about EU directives, I think. But the site for privacy management wasn’t on a Tumblr-url: it was on the Oath site.

I didn’t go any further. I just checked out the sites, then I decided to research it, and came across this article, which put what I experienced in a very unpleasant light.

This is troubling and scary to experience. I do not want to be drawn into the net of anti-netneutrality activists. This reads to me like a symptom of the silenve the FCC now wants to put us under, and I want to know as much as I can about this and if anyone else has had to deal with this. Please boost this so we might get some light shed onto this
