NPOV tag & Too few viewpoints tag

While there are powerful and completely valid arguments for Net Neutrality, this article seems to be a call to action, which is biased in favor of the policy, thus biased against ISP's. Regardless of the merits of either side of the argument, the Wikipedia article needs to be neutral, and not persuasive. —Josh3580_talk/hist 04:51, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The comparison to the Protests against SOPA and PIPA is right on the money. This is a great example of that sort of movement. It just seems like this article was written to promote the idea of Net Neutrality, and encourage FCC comments toward that goal, instead of simply explaining what the purpose of the Internet Slowdown Day was. —Josh3580_talk/hist 06:46, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
