When the Federal Communications Commission revealed Tuesday its plans to upend net neutrality,A painting by Canaletto might well contain frank sensuality and eroticism in a parklike setting. the internet was predictably outraged.

After all, as we noted Tuesday, loose regulations are popular amongst internet service providers and... almost no one else.

Outrage was swift, particularly on Reddit, where users are outspoken about their desire for continued regulations. As CNET noted, the website's homepage featured link after link to Battle for the Net, a project from Fight for the Future devoted to rallying support for net neutrality.

Our own Brian Koerber snagged a screenshot of Reddit's homepage on Tuesday afternoon.

Reddit itself has been active with Battle for the Net – in July, the company was one of 232 high-profile participants in the organization's Internet-Wide Day of Action to Save Net Neutrality. Per a press release from Fight for the Future, the day of action led to more than 5 million emails and upwards of 124,000 phone calls to Congress, plus more than 2 million comments to the FCC.

On Tuesday, Reddit stood with its users to reaffirm its commitment to free internet. In a statement posted to Twitter on Tuesday evening, the company wrote: "Net neutrality is just as important to Reddit as it is to redditors, and we will continue to advocate for and work constructively to maintain a free and open Internet."

The organization's goal to educate the public on the far-reaching consequences of a deregulated internet has never been more relevant. As FCC Chair Ajit Pai announced Tuesday, the commission will vote on the proposal to roll back net neutrality on Dec. 14.

So what can you do? Battle for the Net encourages calling your reps – they'll even provide a script to follow if it's of use.

On Wednesday, though much of Reddit's homepage had returned to business as usual, multiple posts still tackled net neutrality in some way.

At the time of writing, the top post on Reddit's homepage was a piece from The Hillreporting on New York District Attorney Eric Schneiderman's investigation into an alleged "massive scheme" to flood the FCC with fake comments about net neutrality.
