This month marks the anniversary of the death of the internet. Or so I read on Twitter.

In December 2017, the FCC passed the Restoring Internet Freedom Order on a party-line vote to repeal the Obama administration’s broadband utility rules. Leading up to and upon passage of that order, Democrat lawmakers and professional alarmists in the Beltway’s permanent outrage class declared “the end of the internet as we know it.” Without federal bureaucrats imposing their vision of “neutrality” on the Internet, the world would surely end.
