Net Neutrality Opinion

Have you ever wondered how you have access to any website without it saying “BLOCKED!”? Well, that’s Net Neutrality. Net Neutrality is basically a principle of a service provider that helps you access any website/internet sources. It’s actually a very important thing for people to know about. Especially teens who is always using/on the internet to do many things like social media or homework.  

Net Neutrality is important for teens to know about because they’re basically on the internet almost/every day, lets just say 24/7. Have you ever been on Netflix, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr etc and all of a sudden it kicks you out and say something like “you don’t have access to this website right now, try again later” or “ERROR” at the most random times? Thats maybe because you probably don’t have Net Neutrality. It sometimes can harm your parents because they’ll have to pay for you to be able to go on websites you want, whenever you want. Also, they’d have to pay for the speed of the internet, maybe thats why your wifi and internet has either been really slow or really fast.

Its good for teens to know about Net Neutrality because they should be grateful to have it. To be able to use the internet when they need help on homework, when they’re bored and want to go on youtube or netflix and when they need to keep contact with family and friends on twitter, instagram facebook, email etc. If it isn’t for my parents spending money on internet, wifi, etc for me and my family to use than I think laptops, phones tv etc wouldn’t exist in my mind.
