[Version 3.0]

Excellent. I hope the biggest ones - that being Amazon, so far - really go for broke. This needs to be as visible as possible. Ideally, they'd shut down for the day, and just have a page, or maybe video, explaining why.

I would hope that Netflix would be on board, since it's actually been victim of throttling/ISP extortion in the past.

Very important! Take the time to make some clicks!

 

[Lord Frieza]

That is one pitiful ass list for such an important thing.

Good thing it's a month away so more sites(cough NeoGAF) can announce they are joining in.

 

[Pattycakes]

Reminder that this is tomorrow.

 

[How About No]

Wow, that list in the OP needs to be updated

ALL THE WARRIORS

 

[TheHolyTurnip]

Weird how little push this has seen here. If PornHub is involved we should all be involved!

 

[Shauni]

Is there any others that's been added since the original post? This is not much it feels like

There's far more, those are just the most important.
I'd be very surprised if Wikipedia doesn't join in.
Google, Youtube, Facebook (which are the top 3 visited sites) probably aren't joining in, though.

Netflix, Youporn, Deviantart
Microsoft\Apple\Google umbrellas probably aren't joining.

Oh, awesome. They weren't listed on the OP's link.

 

[Aureon]

Google\Facebook support was minimal, blogposts.
Amazon placed a banner, but not a major one.
Reddit has gone all in.

[Apathy]

Is this going to affect me if I live in a country that supports net neutrality cause of it is then I'm being punished for no reason

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Just contacted my rep and my two senators. Fortunately they're all Democrats so they would vote against this anyway, but I'm sure they'd appreciate the sentiment.

The phone bot led me to then contact other reps which I'm not comfortable with, but feel free if you like.

Man talk about a weak showing. Internet-Wide my ass.

I've written to my federal legislators and I already sent in my letter of opposition to the FCC.

I am also very angered at how weak thing have been in terms of the companies participating.

No Facebook, Google, or Netflix. I wonder why.
