WGAW Statement on California Net Neutrality Bill SB 822

Los Angeles – The Writers Guild of America West issued the following statement today regarding the signing of SB 822, the California Internet Consumer Protection and Net Neutrality Act of 2018.

“We applaud Governor Brown and the California Legislature for once again proving that if our federal government fails to protect its citizens, California will step in and lead the way. Once enacted, this landmark net neutrality legislation will serve as a model for states nationwide to follow. The Internet today is where we connect, where we organize and speak freely, and where we can choose what content we consume. With increasing attacks on our First Amendment rights and widespread corporate concentration, preserving an open Internet free from ISP interference is more important now than ever.”
