1. We support #NetNeutrality protections. An open internet allows everyone to express themselves, innovate and compete.

Thanks in part to net neutrality the open internet has grown to become an unrivaled source of choice competition innovation free expression and opportunity.

open internet ensures that both new and established services whether offered by an established internet company like Google a broadband provider or a small startup have the same ability to reach users on an equal playing field.

Google and many others are joining together to call on the FCC to preserve the open internet and we encourage you to act too.

2. Collaboration, sharing, and innovation depend on net neutrality. @creativecommons is proud to join the protest:

June PTA coalition of tech companies including Amazon Reddit Vimeo and Kickstarter is mobilizing for a day of action to save net neutrality on July.

The day of action is a response to the FCC plans to dismantle key net neutrality rules including the classification of internet providers as common carriers something also known as Those rules which were enacted by the FCC in essentially treat internet and wireless providers like public utilities barring them from prioritizing any services on their networks.

In a wide coalition of startups and big companies joined together for a protest day against SOPA a controversial bill that eventually died in committee.

3. Weigh in on Stack Overflow’s upcoming channel feature. We’re developing this in the open with your participation!

We often said that Stack Overflow is a place for everything that programmers want to do and talk about but we always wished that we could make it easier for teams of engineers to better support one another on the same site where they give so much to the public interests of programming.

It has always been difficult to accommodate folks that want to collaborate more closely in a manner that prevents them from clashing with what we built as conventional public Q A there are many kinds of questions that simply do work well in our shared body of knowledge.

I like to see a robust offering of communication channels Slack whatever else kids use these days for notifications so a team use of the product does ebb away because nobody goes check it for new content and you end up sending inane Hey I posted this question to get folks to go there.

4. Google has paid as much as $400k to academics for research defending it against gov’t challenges of mkt dominance.

Hidden Influence.

ET Google operates a program to harness the brain power of university researchers to help sway opinion and public policy cultivating financial relationships with professors at campuses from Harvard University to the University of California Berkeley.

Over the past decade Google has helped finance hundreds of research papers to defend against regulatory challenges of its market dominance paying to for.

5. RT if @ATT’s attempt to hijack the #NetNeutrality Day of Action gets you even more fired up for July 12.

exactly the point we all agree that an open internet is critical for ensuring freedom of expression and a free flow of ideas and commerce in the United States and around the Recode reports that the company will air ads in DC this week as part of the effort.

Senior executive VP of external and legislative affairs Bob Quinn argues in AT post that the company supports the foundational elements of net neutrality even as it pushes back on the strong protections installed under the previous chairman Tom Wheeler.

T and other companies like Comcast and Verizon have waged an all out war on net neutrality protections because they want to be able to charge Internet users and startups extra fees and squeeze all of us for more money for less.

6. Incredible: #BigCable has spent more than $570 million lobbying the federal government during the past decade.

Under the Republican plan internet service providers would agree to voluntarily comply with net neutrality concepts and the Federal Trade Commission which currently has no authority to regulate the issue would protect consumer interests.

block throttle or discriminate against lawful content delivered over the internet and we are committed to continuing to manage our business and network with the goal of providing the best possible consumer experience Brian Roberts Comcast chief executive officer said in an April Roberts whose company has spent million during the past decade while lobbying the government on issues that include net neutrality said the Trump plans are simply trying to remove a over broadband investment decisions and T which has spent million during the last years while lobbying government agencies and Verizon which has dropped million also argue that they support the concept of net neutrality but not the rules that enforce companies were investigated by the Obama administration for violating the rules by allowing their own video services to exceed mobile data caps that were enforced on other content providers.

Facebook which boasts billion unique monthly users has spent almost two internet giants are joining about organizations in the Wednesday Day of Action to protest any rollback of net neutrality regulations.

Morgan Stanley analysts downgraded Snap on Tuesday a day after the shares fell below their IPO price of.

A team lead by analyst Brian Nowak downgraded the stock to equal weight from overweight and slashed their price target to from.

8. Pretty remarkable for a lead underwriter to throw Snap under the bus just a few months after IPO.

Snap lead initial public offering underwriter downgraded the company to a neutral and lowered its price target by to.

We move to neutral and will monitor four areas of innovation which could improve SNAP ad product and advertiser demand Nowak wrote.

Google Search YouTube Facebook and Twitter among others have all gone through growing pains as the key now is SNAP ability to execute and improve its ad offering Nowak said.

9. AT&T saying it’s trying to save net neutrality is like Trump saying he’s trying to save Obamacare.

Hundreds of companies and organizations plan to participate in this Day of Action from giants such as Amazon Google Facebook and Netflix to Reddit Etsy PornHub Spotify and even some smaller internet service providers like Ting and Sonic.

The plan is reminiscent of a similar campaign in January when countless websites including Google Wikipedia and WIRED blacked out parts of their pages to raise awareness about a pair of draconian intellectual property reform bills known as SOPA and PIPA that Congress was debating at the time.

It was a crucial moment in the history of internet policy and proved that activists and web companies could mobilize the public to push back against harmful legislation and now the organizers behind the Day of Action are hoping to repeat that success.

10. woah, if Symantec sells its certificate business, the fight with Chrome is about to get 100x more bananas

Reuters Cybersecurity firm Symantec Corp is considering selling its website certification business in a deal that could fetch more than billion and extricate it from a feud with Alphabet Inc Google people familiar with the matter said on Tuesday.

Chief Executive Officer Greg Clark has been transforming Mountain View Symantec by jettisoning units and spending billions of dollars on acquisitions.
