Why you should care
As our Chief Content Officer said in a blog post in 2014, "If you're a reader of this blog, if you believe, as I do, that a free and open internet has transformed—and enriched—the work that museums and other cultural organizations pursue, then you care about net neutrality."

Its removal could mean degrading access for nonprofits who can't "pay to play."
