The internet is dope. You can use it to find out just about anything. Ever hear of The Anarchist Cookbook? A simple google search will send you into a rabbit hole of education teaching you how to make everything from home brew illegal drugs to explosives and homemade napalm. Although we do not support the use of drugs or weaponry, It’s crazy to think something so destructive can be found so easily on the internet, but that’s the beauty of the internet. Nearly everything is on it.

When it comes to Net Neutrality our big focus has been freedom online. You can log into your Tumblr account and post a blog protesting the Philippines and we won't kill you because of it. We believe in freedom online and we want to keep the internet as free and safe as possible. When we passed the Magna Carta for Philippine Internet Freedoms ( or #MCPIF) we ensured a ban on Internet censorship and Data discrimination.

We believe that Net Neutrality is important, and that it should be promoted enthusiastically. Everyone should have That being said, we still want to keep the internet a lawful place. No crime, No terrorism, and nothing of the sort. We will run the internet to be a place as that is as lawful as possible. No longer is the internet like the Wild Wild West. No Human Trafficking, No Hate speech, no porn, and especially No child porn, Etc. Keep the internet free, and keep the internet safe.
