Summary

GitHub emphasizes the importance of maintaining net neutrality to safeguard innovation, communication, and economic growth facilitated by an open and free Internet. The company urges US users to contact their representatives to oppose proposed FCC changes that could allow a new "fast lane" for privileged businesses, potentially harming developers and altering user experiences based on payments to Internet providers. Highlighting a historical precedent where Congress intervened in communication conflicts, GitHub believes that with support from the broader Internet community, legislative action can preserve the Internet as an open platform for speech and commerce. In May, GitHub co-signed a letter to the FCC supporting net neutrality and continues to advocate for public involvement in keeping the Internet equitable.
