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Here's what happened after that brief experiment was repealed under the Trump Administration and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai - internet speeds skyrocketed despite late-night comedians' and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

Wednesday, April 20 2016

A thirteen year-old red-headed boy has filed a "wrongful life" lawsuit against his parents for allegedly causing him "voluntary prejudice" by giving life to him despite knowing he would be born into a life of pain and suffering.

Liam Murphy, whose parents both have red hair, claims they knew he would very likely inherit what he describes as a very undesirable trait: red hair.

“My life is a torture!” the young boy said. “I keep being told that I have no soul or that I am from an endangered species. People keep calling me Carrottop, Strawberry Shortcake or Ginger Freak, and all of that is my parents’ fault! They knew they were offering me a life of misery, and they selfishly decided to have children anyways.”

The youth is demanding $1.35 million in “pain and suffering” as monetary compensation for the entire experience of having a disabled life versus having a healthy mind and body, as well as $800,000 in “loss of enjoyment of life.”

“My client was intentionally exposed to a life of rejection and bullying by his parents,” said James Franklin O’Connor, the young Murphy's attorney. “Many scientific studies have proven the social difficulties suffered by people with red hair, but this couple who had suffered from it themselves, consciously decided to expose their children to the same thing.”

According to news reports, a few “wrongful life” lawsuits have generated financial compensations of up to $20 million for some children, but these were for plaintiffs born with heavy disabilities or debilitating diseases.

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?
