A number of tech giants that include Amazon, Netflix, and Reddit have already confirmed their plans to protest for net neutrality this Wednesday (July 12), but two huge players have joined the fray: Facebook and Google have also pledged their support for keeping the net free. The two tech giants have yet to explain what specific actions they will take, but we should, at the very least, expect banners or other messages urging visitors to oppose the FCC’s plans.



Until now, Google and Facebook—which have been staunch supporters of net neutrality in the past—have stayed out of the debate. But this week, they confirmed they will join other companies in telling consumers to oppose the FCC’s plan to tear up the current rules. The participation of Google and Facebook in the day-of-action campaign could be a game-changer because their sites are visited by hundreds of millions of Americans, and a message from them could rally new opposition to the FCC plan.
