Internet Slowdown Day
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Internet Slowdown Day, part of the "Battle for the Net" initiative,[1] was a series of protests against the repeal of net neutrality laws coordinated by websites and advocacy groups in the United States occurring on September 10, 2014.[2] The official site explains: "On September 10th, sites across the web will display an alert with a symbolic 'loading' symbol (the proverbial 'spinning wheel of death') and promote a call to action for users to push comments to the FCC, Congress, and the White House."[3]
