What is Net Neutrality?
Net neutrality is the principle that Internet service providers and governments regulating most of the Internet should treat all data on the Internet the same to avoid discrimination by user, content, website, platform, application, type of attached equipment, or method of communication.
Why it is important?
The open internet is very crucial and important for the people of all communities and colors to express themselves freely and openly. It gives people the freedom to access any websites or data on the internet and share the knowledge across it to make the communities stronger.

relationships across the globe by breaking color and community
barriers.

cloud and to be heard from anywhere.

their knowledge and make their dreams come
true in this competitive world.
