Net Neutrality Stances Tracked
Not sure where your House member stands on net neutrality? An online tool unveiled earlier this week by SavetheInternet.com aims to fix that by mapping lawmakers' views by state and providing a database searchable by zip code.
The database lists members as "for," "against," "undecided," or "unknown" on the issue, and it's based on crowd-sourced data collected by the coalition, which favors net neutrality. The tool doubles as a lobbying device for the net neutrality advocates. Once users locate their lawmakers, the site prompts them to send a standardized letter in favor of net neutrality.
Net neutrality advocates aim to preserve an Internet in which service providers cannot offer varying levels of quality depending on such variables as whether a content provider pays to be placed in a higher service tier.
