The ??? ??internet is offering one last gasp in its fight for net neutrality.
Various websites are putting up warnings or even limiting usability on Tuesday to make sure their users know that the Federal Communications Commission is voting on Thursday to essentially hand control of the internet over to massive corporations.
The protest, organized by nonprofit organization Fight for the Future, echoes similar actions of years past in which websites have gotten together to put the issue of net neutrality (and other internet-related topics) right in the faces of their users.

All of these websites are calling for people to contact their Congressional representatives. At this point, only the U.S. Congress can halt the FCC's vote on Thursday. There's almost no indication it will do that.
The FCC's vote on Tuesday goes beyond net neutrality. Once passed, the FCC will have effectively removed itself almost entirely from oversight of internet service providers. This will give ISPs the ability to cut deals with major companies for preferential treatment — a move that net neutrality proponents warn would be the first steps toward ruining the open internet and turning it into something akin to cable TV.

The fight for net neutrality is here and websites are making sure people know what's about to happen.
