US ISPs respond to the net neutrality protest as they support an 'open internet'

Firstpost  

There had been about 6 million filings on net neutrality’s overturn made to the FCC as of Tuesday night, both supporting and opposing the policy; that had risen to 6.7 million Wednesday afternoon. Although AT&T has fiercely fought the Federal Communications Commission’s net neutrality rules, it’s backing Wednesday’s “day of action” denouncing AT&T and other ISPs. Tim Karr, the campaign director for Free Press, an advocacy group that supports net neutrality, slammed the ISPs for “simply attempting to fake the funk, pretending to support net neutrality while opposing the rules that make it an enforceable reality.” The 2015 regulation is the only set of net-neutrality rules that courts have upheld. Amazon’s website has a small square inviting users to “learn more.” Twitter is promoting “net neutrality” as the top trending topic in the U.S. Google tweeted a blog post.
