It was so totally predictable that this would happen AGAIN, for heaven's sake.
Mass reaction 2.0.
It boggles the mind what Chairman Pai thought had changed, from merely 2 years
ago. And more, that a slogan such as "restore Internet freedom" would sound so
soothing that the public would shut off their brains, rather than pay attention
to the fine print. It seems like these obstinate few had their usual
misinterpretations fogging up their minds.

Title II Advocates Look to ‘Ajit-Tate’ FCC Chair
Group plans rollback protests on Pai's block before May 18 vote

Popular Resistance, which protested then-Federal Communications Commission
chair Tom Wheeler’s plan not to reclassify ISPs under Title II, are back at it
with a new chair but the same complaint.
Some protestors stopped by Wheeler’s house last time around. Pai should expect
some visitors, as well, in advance of the May 18 vote to launch his rollback of
the Title II reclassification Wheeler eventually warmed to, and voted to impose.
Popular Resistance has already launched its “Ajit-ation” campaign, according to
the group, handing out flyers and door hangers in Pai’s Arlington, Va.,
neighborhood with his photo, captioned: “Have You Seen This Man.”
The group said it had even hung one on Pai’s door — it has also posted a photo
online of what it said is the chairman’s house, with a warning to expect more
visitors. It had planned a number of street protests there for this week.
Pai’s office had no comment at press time, but Wheeler talked with protestors
at his house for a while before heading off to work, and when there was a brief
musical protest at Pai’s first public meeting, he took it in good spirits and
even sang along.
Another former FCC chair is also in the net-neutrality protest mix, but he will
be the protestor rather than protestee. Michael Copps, a big fan of Title II,
plans to address a rally outside FCC headquarters Thursday (May 18) in advance
of the vote.
