Internet Slowdown Day
posted about 10 years ago
our Internet won't be any slower than usual on Wednesday, but it might look like it is.
Top sites on the Internet, including Netflix and Reddit, will be displaying a constant "loading" symbol -- the so-called "loading pinwheel" or, alternately, the Spinning Wheel of Death.
It's part of a protest called "Internet Slowdown Day," a push against the U.S. government's support for so-called Internet fast lanes.
