🚨This is a Red Alert for net neutrality 🚨
Last December, the FCC voted to to kill net neutrality. If we do not take action, this will kill the free and open internet as we know it. The internet needs you—all of you—to make sure your voices are heard NOW.
We need all hands on deck for this one. It may be our last chance. If you’re feeling under-informed and overwhelmed about why net neutrality is so incredibly important, we have this handy guide just for you.
Here’s what you can do to save the internet:
- In mid-May, the Senate will vote on a resolution to overrule the FCC using the Congressional Review Act (CRA). We only need one more vote in the Senate to win. Write or call your Senators or Representatives. You can also text BATTLE to 384-387 to get more information on how to write to your reps. You can do this, Tumblr.
- Join us and dozens of your other favorite companies like Etsy, Vimeo, Reddit, and GitHub to raise awareness with the Red Alert campaign being run by Battle for the Net. Just add this small widget to your Tumblr to let your followers know how they can contact their reps. It’s as easy as copying and pasting the small line of code right into the customize theme page on the web.
This is important. This matters. It’s up to you to help.

Apparently, Thinx’s (a company that makes reusable, washable period panties, an alternative to pads and tampons) ads are waaaaaaay to risque and sexual for the New York Subways. Since Thinx’s ads show skin, say the word ‘period,’ and include…fruit..? the MTA is denying Thinx the ad space. So with ads like these:
.
So with all this skin and breasts, the Thinx ad has got to be super sexy, right!? More offensive than the anti-Islam ads that ran on the sides of buses not too long ago, right? Totally! Here are the super risque ads Thinx proposed:
Yeah, an egg, a grapefruit and three ladies in tanks, a sweater and undies and some really decent gender-neutral language. Soooo risque. Oh, and the reason the MTA doesn’t want the word ‘period’ on the ad? For the children of course! They don’t want the kids to ask their parents what a ‘period’ is, because, god fucking forbid! we teach our children about normal bodily functions!
This is the most blatant form of sexism I’ve seen. Can we cut off women’s heads just to show off their tits as products? Sure! Can we use their sexed up bodies to sell diet pills? Of course! Can we talk about them as humans with natural bodily functions? Nope!
Like, Jesus people, this is some bullshit.
EDIT: You can’t really read the thinx ads in full, but they even acknowledge that people of any gender can menstruate, like these are quality ads that are being censored.
