14 jokes about net neutrality while they're still free

In a brave motion, the Federal Communications Commission voted to repeal a nasty net neutrality protection on Thursday that was put in place by the evil Obama administration in 2015.

Finally, the internet will be able to serve its true and real purpose: make untold billions of dollars for faceless corporations, which nearly everyone in the United States hates.

Finally, the people who make the internet a weird place for new opportunities, creation, innovation, and social interaction will be forced to pay for that privilege.

Finally, the poor corporate CEOs of major telecom companies will be able to afford a new jet to replace their old and outdated planes.

But before the new regime takes hold of the invisible force that bonds the modern world together as we know it, bringing new life to underprivileged areas and creating a global conversation and marketplace, we can wallow in the mediocre humor of those sarcastic shits who define the culture of the internet.

That is, until you upgrade your ISP's better package, which contains roundups of internet reactions for your viewing pleasure.
