That’s because it’s tied up in the courts now.

Speak for yourself

They had to use bulldozers in my neighborhood to bury all the bodies.

I had to pay $1 to read it because I'm in California right now.

Good news is that like hundreds of millions of other people, I died as a direct result of the NN repeal, so good luck collecting the tax.

NN was a classic case of regulation to protect the interests of BigTech.

Thankfully the paragons of free speech and protecting your identity that are Google and Facebook are fighting this theoretical injustice tooth and nail!

AT&T throttled my Xbox and Steam downloads during Net Neutrality, but not before or after.

Long term NN would have benefitted Google and Facebook.

It's all about advertising dollars and dominating the market.

Heavy handed regulation is almost universally supported by extremely large corporations - it's better for them to have the government stamp out their competition than compete with them in a free market.

This is especially true when you’ve got corporations big enough to lobby government to write the regulations in their favor.
