Comics Folk React to… the FCC, Net Neutrality and Ajit Pai

Published Sat, 16 Dec 2017 08:00:59 -0600

Plenty of comic creators and those adjacent have been reacting to the news that FCC in the USA had voted against regulations that preserve the current standard of net neutrality, preventing internet companies for charging people extra to visit certain websites. The decision has caused quite an outcry from across the political spectrum.

Thank you @AjitPaiFCC & #FCC, for repealing #NetNeutrality ; and castrating a whole industry of its culture, innovation and equality. Well done guys! pic.twitter.com/YLT8pORfPA

Since Net Neutrality has been repealed, your Internet Service Provider will be charging you $84 to read this tweet. Hope you think it's worth it.

Between the FCC's Net Neutrality vote and the Disney/FOX deal, today is a shit day for consumers.

Bow to our corporate overlords!

the star of THE GARBAGE PAIL KIDS MOVIE revealing someone stole the identity of his mother, the late great Party Duke, to support the end of Net Neutrality made me catatonic for five minutes

So because Ajit Pai was the a lawyer for Verizon, most Republicans favor Net Neutrality?

Since Net Neutrality has been repealed, can we all pay our Internet Service Providers to slow down Donald Trump's tweets to, say, one a year?

Since Net Neutrality has been repealed, your Internet Service Provider will be charging you triple to stream any movie that does not have Nicholas Cage in it. Could be a bargain.

"I must learn to work within the existing system for incremental positive change, as revolution is most dangerous to the already marginalized."

*FCC ruins the internet*

"So, hey, just an idea, but what if we dissolve the federal government and start over."

A possible GOOD side effect of the likely repeal of #NetNeutrality is the possible reemergence in traditional communication. I'm not talking letters, either. I think we should go old school Morse Code…Oooh! Semaphore it up! Everyone! To the roof!

But things started to get personal for FCC Chairman Ajit Pai…
