Net Neutrality Topic Exploration

1. The protest in its entirety is the movement towards the government mandate to secure net neutrality as law. Although net neutrality was overall agreed upon there were several factors, mostly lobbying from ISP's and Telecommunication providers, that threatened the idea of having an unbiased internet. Within the larger movement there were plenty of smaller protests, but I am deciding to focus on the rhetoric of the entire movement in order to study how it affected the decision made by the FCC and lawmakers. I am drawing the boundaries to the United States seeing as the country's identity plays a pivotal role in the shaping of the protest. 
2.   I believe there are several identities tied to this protest, one being the American. The whole argument of keeping the internet neutral sparked a lot of talk about preventing large corporations from having the power to control a central mode of communication. This got a lot of people worried about civil liberties and the possibility of freedoms being infringed upon if the internet was no longer neutral. I believe when any conversation, especially one so national, brings up the topic of freedoms being infringed, the identity of the "American" comes in to defend those rights. I think another identity that should be present is that of internet conscious citizens, probably consisting of mostly millennials, or those of a younger generation who were much more aware of how the internet worked and what the consequences of an owned internet might be. 
3. The group, or groups, I intend to look at participated in many ways during the movement. There were marches in actual locations, online petitions and sharing of information in order to create an all encompassing protest that everyone could participate in. There were calls to send emails and call the local congressman to get the word out the the people wanted net neutrality. There were a lot of ways in which the groups participated. 
4. One of my main concerns is whether I'll be able to find enough peer-reviewed sources for this project. Seeing as it's a fairly recent event, the amount of peer-reviewed sources will likely be much less than a historical topic, so I am most likely going to have to use a lot of primary sources rather than secondary sources. My second concern is that since my framework is so large, I may not be able to convey my chosen identities as clearly as many other projects would be able to. Even if I chose a smaller protest within the movement, the identities tied to it are still vast and not as concrete as other protests.
