Over 100 YOUTUBE creators have signed an open letter, calling on the FCC to keep net neutrality protections. The group, called the INTERNET CREATORS GUILD, represents online video makers who have attracted an audience of more than 150 million people.
“Our rapidly growing industry employs hundreds of thousands of people and yet it barely existed more than a decade ago,” they wrote. “As creators in this fast-moving industry, changes to the existing Net Neutrality rules would have an outsized impact on our field and jeopardize our livelihood.”
Essentially sharing the sentiments of INTERNET CREATORS GUILD are INTERNET ASSOCIATION, which represents YOUTUBE owner GOOGLE, AMAZON, NETFLIX and PORNHUB, among others. Earlier this year, the FCC began the process of rolling back Net Neutrality (NET NEWS, 5/18).
