TL;DR go to www.gofccyourself.com and support net neutrality by adding your support for Title II (when the FCC website is back up again). --- 3 years ago John Oliver and Last Week Tonight urged people to go to the FCC's website and tell them to preserve strong net neutrality neutrality rules and Title II (we succeeded). Net Neutrality and Title II are now under threat again... and the FCC made their process for submitting your views on the issue very very very long, as you can see here:

So the team @LastWeekTonight bought the URL gofccyourself.com (brilliant) which directs you right to the part of the website you need to get to for submitting your opinion on Title II. AKA here: https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/search/... Look how easy it is!

P.S. The FCC website is down at the moment. Credit to John Oliver and the team.

@nivo0o0 @lastweektonight I... think I submitted? It's crazy how confusing it still is, even after being jumped right to the correct results page

I've been trying to access the site since last night but keep getting a blank screen. Maybe the FCC has no incentive to fix the traffic or page issue?

I completed my submission during the show on Sunday evening and noticed something really interesting...as of Sunday evening around 11:30 PM CST, the redirect & main FCC site was working and I was able to complete my submission. At the time I completed my submission, there were around 180k other submissions. As of this posting, there have been 730k submissions since the original request opened on 4/26/2017 with over 550k in the last few days (about 400k since I made mine on Sunday evening - https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/search/... ). I looked around a bit and found this link that lets you browse popular proceedings ( https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/browse-... ) - what amazed me was that when John Oliver first attempted to raise awareness and drive submissions back in 2014 for 14-28 - Protecting and Promoting the Open Internet - Feb 19, 2014 ( https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/search/... ), the site crashed also though they were able to receive around 2.2 million comments and filings (with around 8000 submitted in the last 30 days alone). Share this link far and wide - the momentum for the latest effort has already dwarfed that of the previous effort in the first few days!

#NetNeutrality is a great thing and I love what John Oliver is doing to protect it. We should be loud about not just that the Internet should be a neutral space, but also why it is important. When you send the message to FCC, add why this matters to you. For me, it matters that I can work from anywhere and leverage this amazing resource to fuel present and future projects that add value to society. Imagine if electricity was not neutral and the electrical company could choose which appliances it would power - like your vacuum cleaner, TV, but not your PS4. How would your life change?
