The Federal Communications Commission issued its final rule on Restoring Internet Freedom on February 22, 2018. The regulations will restore the light touch regulatory system that allowed the Internet to flourish, eliminate government micromanagement, and ensure that no company can censor, discriminate, or block free competition online.

However, one would not know that from the vitriol spewing from Title II proponents, who feel they have struck partisan gold on this issue, using the totem-like power of the abstract “net neutrality” incantation to inflame like-minded Internet trolls. Instead of building consensus, they have launched a massive and expensive campaign to destroy the widespread support for enforceable net neutrality rules, which will do nothing to marshal support for bipartisan legislation that would update the telecommunications laws and permanently ensure fair treatment of all traffic online.
