A wile back ISP's and major cable corporations tried to do away Net Neutrality so that they could effectively destroy the internet!
Well there at it again. If this go's thew anyone unwilling to pay these company's extra will have there internet slowed down to a crawl. Even if you don't live in the US this will still effect you if you try to use sites that are hosted in the US (and this includes DeviantArt by the way) as your ability to use these sites will also be hampered. And even if you don't live in the US or use sites that are hosted in the US (witch if your reading this, you do as DeviantArt is one such site) it's highly likely that if the US destroys Net Neutrality in there country the rest of the world will take notice and soon evry other country (likely including the one you live in) will start doing away with Net Neutrality as well.
If you want more info on what Net Neutrality is and how it will effect you if it's destroyed read: www.battleforthenet.com/#under…

Stop the SMART Copyright Act! [AKA SOPA 2022]
The following quoted text from: Fight for the Future's https://www.nocensorshipfilter.com/index.html event campaign website to stop this Bill. This bill was made by the same people who made SOPA, and pretty much just as bad. URGENT: Congress is trying to sneak through copyright censorship filters Anyone who creates content or streams online knows that copyright laws are broken and regularly abused. We get frivolous DMCA takedown notices, accounts suspended without warning, and videos demonetized—often without transparency or recourse. Now, politicians are trying to sneak through the so-called “SMART Copyright Act,” a bill that would make all of this way worse by mandating automated censorship filters at nearly every layer of the Internet, from ISPs to streaming platforms. This won’t help artists or creators, it will just wreak havoc on free expression and line the pockets of companies like Disney and Amazon.

Today is Antitrust Day.
Source: the EFF We live in a world that increasingly requires us to be online. The promise of all this technology was that barriers would be lowered, allowing more people to exercise their rights—especially rights related to speech. For those who work in securing rights for others, activists and journalists, for example, this has been an invaluable change. However, that promise has been broken by the rise of a few unassailable companies. No longer does something replace Facebook the way Facebook replaced MySpace. Instead, Facebook buys Instagram and WhatsApp to prevent being replaced. And then being on Facebook stops being a choice, but a requirement for communicating with some segments of the population. It’s difficult to leave if those people are your friends and family, but it’s impossible if you are a small business who needs to reach a certain group of people. If you can’t be found by a Google search, you might as well not exist. And if your app can’t get into an
DA what the heck are you doing!?
DA, why the !^(% did you change the classic DA green theme to look almost identacol to the wite theme? Is this a glitch that will be fixed soon or is whoever is making the decisions reely that stupid as to think annoying those who used the green theme is a good idea, especially when there are now DA alternatives like sheezy.art/ not to mencon up and coming sites like @ArtSpacious & @ArtRi-se EDIT: Looks like it was just the tipacol DA incompetence witch has since been fixed. EDIT2: Removed the link to BuzzyArt in response to some shady stuff the site owner/mod's have been engaging in.

Isn't that kinda breaking a law? The Untied Nations law, since the US is part of the United Nations.
