Five Years Ago
This week in 2017, the chips started to fall in the wake of the net
neutrality appeal. A tonedeaf video starring Ajit Pai led to one of
those internet situations where everyone is wrong, while Pai was
insisting net neutrality supporters were wrong about everything since
Twitter hadn’t immediately died. Comcast began its push for a terrible
new net neutrality law in earnest, and Rep. Marsha Blackburn was right
on cue with a bill to make the FCC’s decision permanent. The NAACP did
an about face on net neutrality, while CenturyLink pivoted to asking the
FCC to police interconnection. And, shocking nobody, a FOIA request
revealed that yet another core justification for the repeal was bullshit.
