The consequences of ending net neutrality aren't always easy to explain, but Reddit co-founder Alex Ohanian just came up with a pretty striking descriptor:

"Clusterfuck."

If regulators kill off neutrality by carrying out their proposal to create an Internet fast lane and leave the rest of the web crawling slowly behind, it "would be a clusterfuck worse than Comcast's customer service," Ohanian writes in a blog post published Monday on The Verge: http://www.theverge.com/2014/9/8/6122675/right-now-the-internet-needs-your-help-to-survive

Ohanian is one of many Internet activists and entrepreneurs urging Americans to voice support for net neutrality on Wednesday by participating in an Internet Slowdown protest: https://www.battleforthenet.com/

On that day, sites like Ohanian's Reddit, along with Digg, Upworthy, Kickstarter and others will display the loading symbol -- or wheel of death -- to visitors and ask people to tell the Federal Communications Commission, Congress and the White House that they desperately do not want net neutrality to go away.
