   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.
