Top Hilarious Reactions to Net Neutrality Vote
In case you haven't already seen pitchforked protesters lining the streets, the FCC voted to repeal net neutrality today (see Yes! FCC May Kill Net Neutrality Regulations, Restore Freedom to Internet... and Net Neutrality Explained. Simply and Accurately!). What that means?
FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, Commissioner Michael O'Riely, and Commissioner Brendan Carr, all Republicans, supported the proposed rollback of the Obama-era rules. Democratic Commissioners Mignon Clyburn and Jessica Rosenworcel opposed the change.As Pai was reading his statement in support of the trules change, he abruptly recessed the meeting due to a security threat, and the room was evacuated. A bomb-sniffing dog was brought in, and the meeting reconvened several minutes later.
Pai's Restoring Internet Freedom order effectively reverses the net neutrality rules and classifies broadband Internet services as an information service under Title I of the Communications Act.
So there's that. The vote will now go to the courts where it will likely be challenged to kingdom come. What all this really means, more importantly? Outrage, chaos, and fear mongering, oh my. And you thought things were already tense (see Net Neutrality Supporter Sends Death Threats to Republican Congressman). It's about to get way more mentally unstable up in here. Release ze enraged internet trolls!
Here's some of our top favorite reactions to the net neutrality vote. Good luck distinguishing satire from TOTES SRSNESS.

.@taylorswift13’s silence on #NetNeutrality is deafening— JERRY DUNLEAVY (@JERRY DUNLEAVY) 1513278386.0
Just remember, if you shed zero tears over the vote today that's just because you're not paying attention. And you hate the internet. And you want people to die. How dare you.
FYI, Jonah Goldberg, tweet above, is being satirical. Couldn't tell, could you?
