Mozilla and other Internet businesses, including ADT, Dropbox, Eventbrite, Reddit, Vimeo, Wikimedia, are calling for the FCC to "reinstate net neutrality as a matter of urgency."

The need for net neutrality protections has become even more apparent during the pandemic. In a moment where classrooms and offices have moved online by necessity, it is critically important to have rules paired with strong government oversight and enforcement to protect families and businesses from predatory practices. In California, residents will have the benefit of these fundamental safeguards as a result of a recent court decision that will allow the state to enforce its state net neutrality law. However, we believe that users nationwide deserve the same ability to control their own online experiences.

Hello,

Streaming sites, should have joined the call.

What is , for example, big ISP, decide to downgrade the bandwidth when accessing Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, or even Disney+, HBO Max, Peacock, etc... Also, some major ISP are all members of groups, which operate a streaming service, so they can easilly favor their own streaming service, to hurt the concurrence. (Which can be risky too, of-course).
