Reddit, Amazon, Netflix and more to stop working properly in protest over net neutrality laws
The internet is going to stop working properly. For now, it's just for one day, though campaigners warn it might be a preview of the future. The world's biggest websites are going to grind to a halt – slowing down, or stopping working in other ways – in protest against intrusions onto net neutrality. It won't be the first time that companies have sabotaged their own websites in defence of the idea that the internet should remain neutral, and that internet providers and other companies shouldn't be able to privilege some kinds of internet traffic over others. But it comes at an especially contentious time, with campaigners and companies warning that the Federal Communications Commission could be close to undermining one of the internet's central principles.
