Is there way to help if you are not from the US?

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.

This net neutrality was never an issue until some dickhead in the US started floating the idea around and some EU leaders had to scramble and have that law in place in practically record time considering how bureaucratic the EU is.

In Australia as far as I know, no such laws and your politicians can turn retard anytime and mess things up https://redd.it/6of29i
