Save the Internet

[Danny-K]

Hi, everyone!

the following information is taken from

"Last week, a gang of Telecom giants launched a desperate assault on our Internet. But a public comment period is open right now, and if we flood EU regulators with hundreds of thousands of messages, we can persuade them to stand strong for a free and open Internet in Europe."

and the following is from
https://savetheinternet.eu/en/ (there is more information to be found there)

"European Regulators are about to decide whether to give big telecoms corporations the power to influence what we can (and can’t) do online. Europe urgently needs clear net neutrality guidelines to protect our freedoms and rights online."


As internet marketers this concerns us even more than the average internet user: It directly threatens our businesses, our way of life and our very existences. (I don't think that's phrased too dramatically.)

We cannot ignore this!


Through these two sites you can send emails (prewritten, if you don't want to spend more than a minute on this) to the Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC) to tell them what you think of those plans.

Do you have friends? If they have an email address, they're web users too and should be concerned about this development.
Send them an email, share the links with them and ask them to share them with everyone they know!

As internet marketers many of us should also be able to do much more about this issue than the average internet user:

• Do you have a blog or website? Post the links and ask your users for support.
• Do you have an email list? Use it and send a mail to all subscribers.
• Do you use social media? Share the links mentioned above with all your followers.
• Do you have a Youtube channel? Make a video about this, explain the situation and ask for support.
• Whatever else you do to get your affiliate links or sales pages in front of new eyes, do the same for the links mentioned above.
  

If a moderator or admin is reading this: Maybe this situation is worth sending every user of this forum a PM?
(That shouldn't be too pushy, it won't cost you anything and it might make all the difference.)
