EU Slowdown campaign by Fight For The Future

Many websites in Europe were fighting for real Net Neutrality just like the real Net Neutrality rules in the US went in effect after long times of fighting for freedom. However, it doesn't mean a complete relaxation time as the never-ending challenge between Team Internet and Team ISPs is still on-going. There might be court cases as filed by those ISPs in the US about Net Neutrality but in the end, it appeared that those ISPs lost the battle.
Filing a lawsuit against the ISP you're subscribed to over slow internet bandwidth may cost lots of money and time and it's more useless trying to upgrade the broadband routers for the sake of better speed. Perhaps, this is where Net Neutrality comes in handy as equal technical fairness. I don't know if a lawsuit from a customer will force the ISP to end bandwidth throttling or not because after sometime, they may probably think that that force may be useless to them and they may continue their evil plans to throttling down the bandwidth again. There's no way to tell anymore if this is bullshit or not but even with real Net Neutrality rules, the fight for freedom isn't over yet.
The campaign as organized by Fight For The Future is still on-going until sometime next month. Thankfully, people around the globe are able to save the internet in Europe unlike the US where only locals can take action to save the same internet by having real Net Neutrality.
As always, I have been subscribed to Fight For The Future for future situation to keep a look out for ever since estimated four years ago.
