Image of the Day: U.S. Internet Speeds Skyrocketed After Ending Failed Title II "Net Neutrality" Experiment

CFIF often highlights how the Biden Administration's bizarre decision to resurrect failed Title II "Net Neutrality" internet regulation, which caused private broadband investment to decline for the first time ever outside of a recession during its brief experiment at the end of the Obama Administration, is a terrible idea that will only punish consumers if allowed to take effect.

Here's what happened after that brief experiment was repealed under the Trump Administration and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai - internet speeds skyrocketed despite late-night comedians' and left-wing activists' warnings that the internet was doomed:

Vegetarians Sue for Trip to Ganges River Print
Wednesday, July 20 2011

Sixteen people from Edison, NJ, are suing a local Indian restaurant after being served meat samosas rather than vegetarian samosas.
 
According to news reports, the 16 people are devout Hindus and do not eat meat for religious reasons.  Thus, they claim they specifically asked their server several times whether the samosas had meat in them, to which the server at the Indian restaurant, Moghul Express, replied that they didn't even make meat samosas.  When the plaintiffs ate the samosas, which tasted of meat, they inquired again of the contents and this time allegedly were told they did contain meat.
 
The plaintiffs decided to sue for emotional and monetary damages, claiming that eating meat had caused them serious spiritual harm, which could only be rectified by an expensive pilgrimage to the Ganges River. They asked Moghul Express to pay for the trip.
 
A lower court ruled that the suit was inadmissable.  On appeal, the New Jersey Appellate Court found that the plaintiffs' case met the basic prima facie qualifications to proceed and the remanded the case back to the Superior Court.

If TikTok's data collection or manipulation under Chinese ownership is the grave danger that our government says it is (and it may well be), then wouldn't the prudent action be to ban it immediately rather than some time down the road?
