Tweets are not nearly as important as lawsuits, but it's only the day after.
And by the way, aside from being corrupt, this Chairman has proved to be one
heck of a hypocrite. With all his talk about government overreach, the way this
libertarian yahoo tries to stifle the initiatives of individual states tells it
all. He's simply run amuck.
And this trade scribe also misses the point. It's NOT "Obama era regs," as the
lunatic yahoos like to pretend, in their attempt to discredit the neutrality
law. By mentioning "Obama," the half-wit paranoid lunatics think they'll get
support for their extremism. Neutrality laws predate the FCC, and have been in
the books a long time.
Come on, courts. Let's see some action.

D.C., Calif. Lead in Anti-'Net Rule Rollback Tweets
Washington is tops per capita
By John Eggerton
Sperling's Best Places (http://www.bestplaces.net/, which assembles info on the ;
best places to live, including schools, crime, house prices, and, apparently,
Title II-friendliness, has analyzed Tweets from #StoptheFCC. That is one of the
activist hashtags aimed at driving protest against the FCC's vote to rollback
Title II-based 'net regs.
Sperling looked, state-by-state, at 145,000 Tweets between Nov. 24--following
the FCC's announcement of the Restoring Internet Freedom order, and Nov. 14,
when it was approved by the Republican majority, and found that, not
surprisingly, D.C. was the tops, by a wide margin, in tweets per capita (per
every 100,000 people) with 320.33 (a total of 1,872 tweets). Mississippi
brought up the rear at 8.57 (252 tweets).
Not surprisingly given its Silicon Valley residents, and the sheer size of the
state, California was number one in raw numbers of tweets with 15,370 (that was
only 41.95 per capita given the almost 20 million in population.
That number could be going up as groups including Demand Progress and Fight for
the Future drive net neutrality supporters to urge Congress to stop the
Trump-era FCC rule rollback via the Congressional Review Act, the same
legislative gambit Republicans used to nullify Obama-era regs.
