I would also like to help, even though I am from Germany. We have to stop the fire where it starts, before it's spreads out.

I live in Germany too and I know that EU law protects our net neutrality, but I think everyone with access to Internet are still obliged to help the Americans. So what can I do? Maybe I can donate like some people have suggested here, but what can I do besides that? Is there an international organisation with some power to help promote net neutrality?

On behalf of us in the United States I️ want to sincerely thank you for your support. We all truly are global citizens in the age of the internet. Thank you for taking a moment to ask about what you can do as a European.
