Day of Action to Defend Net Neutrality Sweeps the Internet
----------------------------------------------------------

Nearly 70,000 websites and organizations are slated to take part in a
massive day of action today aimed at saving net neutrality.
Participating websites are displaying messages on their homepages and
encouraging users to take action to save the internet as we know it.
Supporters of the day of action include internet giants such as Twitter,
Amazon, Facebook, Google and Reddit. Earlier this year, Federal
Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai outlined his plan to
dismantle net neutrality rules, despite polling that shows most
Americans support a free and open internet.
