We just accomplished something very important together.
Today, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission voted for strong net
neutrality protections. This happened because millions of people —
including many hundreds of thousands in Mozilla’s community — joined together as citizens of the Web to demand those strong protections.
This is an important victory for the world’s largest public resource,
the open Web. Net neutrality is a key aspect of enabling innovation
from everywhere, and especially from new players and unexpected places.
Net neutrality allows citizens and consumers to access new innovations
and judge the merit for themselves. It allows individual citizens to
make decisions, without gate-keepers who decide which possibilities can
become real. Today’s net neutrality rules help us protect this open and
innovative potential of the Internet.
Mozilla builds our products to put this openness and opportunity into
the hands of individuals. We are organized as a non-profit so that the
assets we create benefit everyone. Our products go hand-in-hand with net
neutrality; they need net neutrality to bring the full potential of the
Internet to all of us.
Today’s net neutrality rules are an important step in protecting
opportunity for all. This victory was not inevitable. It occurred
because so many people took action, so many people put their voice into
the process. To each of you we say “Thank you.” Thank you for taking the
time to understand the issue, for recognizing it’s important, and for
taking action. Thank you for helping us build openness and opportunity
into the very fabric of the Internet.
