Overview

Day of Action to Save Net Neutrality is a world-wide day of awareness during which companies, thinkers and influencers from all over the internet urged people to write to the Federal Communication Commission regarding the proposed repeal of net neutrality protections.

Background

In 2015, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted to reclassify broadband access as a public utility under Title II. The measure helped ensure net neutrality, which prevented ISPs from pursuing paid prioritization agreements for the so-called “fast-lane Internet” and give the governing body more regulatory powers over business activities of the broadband industry in the United States.

On April 26th, 2017, however, Ajit Pai, whom President Donald Trump named chairman of the FCC in January 2017, announced his plans to repeal the Title II measures.^[1]

Developments

On June 6th, numerous companies announced their participation in the Day of Action to Save Net Neutrality.^[2] Started by the activist group Fight for the Future, the Day of Action would see more than 200 companies joining in support of net neutrality protections.

On July 12th, 2017, companies around the internet joined the day of action. Such companies as Netflix, Amazon, Google, Facebook, Tumblr, Reddit and more posted banners, asking users to join the fight to save net neutrality.^[3][4]

Overview

Ann Coulter Delta Airlines Feud refers to tweets sent by conservative political commentator Ann Coulter at Delta Airlines after the airline had moved her from her pre-booked, extra leg-room seat on a flight. Coulter’s incessant tweeting at Delta and shaming of the woman who was given her seat prompted a response from Delta which was celebrated online.

Background

On July 15th, 2017, Coulter began tweeting^[1] angrily about Delta Airlines after she had been moved from her seat.

Coulter was on a flight from New York City to West Palm Beach, Florida, when she was moved from her seat with extra leg room that she had booked in advance. Coulter escalated the situation by tweeting a photo of the woman who was given her seat, shaming her for not being “an air marshall or tall person.”

Developments

Coulter continued tweeting at Delta over the course of the following several days. On July 16th, 2017, Delta responded on Twitter saying they would refund the 30 extra dollars Coulter spent on her pre-booked seat (shown below, left). Coulter responded by saying that the time she spent choosing the seat was worth $10,000 (shown below, right).

Delta released a statement^[2] the same day about the incident, apologizing to Coulter but also scolding her for posting a picture of the woman who took her seat. The full statement reads:

“We are sorry that the customer did not receive the seat she reserved and paid for. More importantly, we are disappointed that the customer has chosen to publicly attack our employees and other customers by posting derogatory and slanderous comments and photos in social media. Her actions are unnecessary and unacceptable.
Each of our employees is charged with treating each other as well as our customers with dignity and respect. And we hold each other accountable when that does not happen.
Delta expects mutual civility throughout the entire travel experience.
We will refund Ms. Coulter’s $30 for the preferred seat on the exit row that she purchased.”

Delta’s tweets about the incident were celebrated on Twitter (example shown below).

Make sure to save it as a PNG file, otherwise you won’t be able to edit it properly later. Pro tip: Opting for something with a plain background, ideally white, will yield best results.

Step 2: Open your PNG file in Preview. Tap the toolbox icon at the top of the screen. The select the Instant Alpha tool by tapping the wand icon in the upper left-hand side of the screen. Click on the background of the image you want to remove, the Instant Alpha tool will begin to highlight in red. Once you’ve selected what you need to remove, hit Delete.
