Tom Morello, Amanda Palmer, More Call on FCC to Restore Net Neutrality and ‘Protect Art’
Tom Morello, Amanda Palmer, and hundreds of other artists have signed a letter calling on the FCC to restore net neutrality and 'protect art.'
In explaining the decision to revisit net neutrality, FCC chair Jessica Rosenworcel noted the way the Covid-19 pandemic underscored the need for reliable and fair internet access, especially for things like education. Without net neutrality protections, the letter argues, it would only be “a matter of time” until telecom companies “start trying to charge for online searches that artists depend on, or build pay-to-play fast lanes only affordable” to internet giants like Google, Amazon, Spotify, and Instagram. Along with Morello, Dawson, Ortiz, and Palmer, the letter was signed by Deerhoof, Molly Crabapple, Julia Holter, Xenia Rubinos, Eve 6, DIIV, Stephen Fry, Cory Doctorow, Algiers, Jeff Rosenstock, Sammus, Big Joanie, Spencer Tweedy, and Neil Gaiman.
