The issue of net neutrality has been the source of a lot of talk that has been nonstop throughout the year, as seen in many of the top December 2014 Internet ideas. Internet users are looking to have more control and in many cases, are using it as a platform to rally together to inspire action and change.
In collaboration with a number of talented artists, Tumblr created a series of t-shirts that can be purchased, with proceeds going to support the Media Democracy Fund's Open Internet Defense Fund. Another inspiring initiative for digital literacy on college and university campuses comes from Google, driving buses across Bangladesh to teach, inspire and empower the next generation of entrepreneurs.
