No contest. Americans fought so hard for Net Neutrality, and then Trump and Ajit Pai popped in and took a steaming shit on everything.

Codify it into law or it will just be destroyed again the next time we're stupid enough to elect a Republican.
I agree, but we can't even fund the fucking government as long as the Republicans control the House.
They don't have the votes. I'm sure they would if they actually had a majority any of the last 3 years that didn't compose "best we can do" folks like Manchin and Senima.
Happy that corporate shill Ajit Pai is gone.
Him and his stupid oversized coffee mug
Hahaha I love that clip. And how dare ajit pie bring reeses into this nonsense
Can we dump DeJoy next, please!?! And soon?
If some websites seem to load significantly faster than others now (youtube, reddit, facebook), it's because ISPs can throttle or prioritise traffic to certain websites and they do not have to report this information to their customers.
Oh yeah boi look at our data speed! (video capped at 480p expected speed)
Seriously, does anyone have a way I can keep my isp from knowing I'm streaming video so I can actually do that??
And that's why i run YouTube through a VPN (sometimes).
VPN is great and a solution but it can also be a hassle in many configurations.
And really there is nothing stopping them from throttling secure traffic unless you buy a business plan or whatever they come up with.
I hope it can be reinstated because allowing ISPs to throttle various traffic gives absolutely no benefit to the end user.
How was Pai not arrested for all those fake comments in support?
Remember: elections have consequences.
Also remember that
as much as disaffected and/or malicious actors (or Simpsons and South Park, for that matter) will claim otherwise
the two major political parties in the US are not the same.
Within a short time after Ajit Pai was appointed to the FCC chair, there was an article at Ars Technica about net neutrality being rescinded. The article also detailed the many votes against consumers on Pai's record. I sent a link to my mother, who voted for Trump, telling her that this was partially her fault and that it affected everyone, not just her.
We have a "no politics" rule, now, instituted by me. Our relationship couldn't survive otherwise. Just tell me about the grandkids, your pets, the weather. Never tell me how you voted to fuck up the world.
Wish we had a Congress that could codify it instead of worrying about the shit show that is admin law. Sadly that's what America runs on nowadays.
congress needs to put it into law which means we need to vote for congressmen that will do that. Granted mine do.
If Menendez resigns, does that mean the Dems lose control of the Senate?
