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Here's what happened after that brief experiment was repealed under the Trump Administration and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai - internet speeds skyrocketed despite late-night comedians' and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

A New York lawyer is suing his neighbor, hoping to get an injunction forcing her to turn off her nonstop holiday music that blasts out of a loudspeaker in her Christmas display.

Nick Wilder, who's representing himself in the case, is suing socialite Lisa Maria Falcone, wife to hedge-fund billionaire Philip Falcone. Wilder lives in an apartment across the street from Falcone's three adjoining townhouses on East 67th Street.

“It’s not like she plays it a half-hour every day. It’s on from 7 a.m. to midnight," said Wilder. "I like a Christmas song on Christmas Day. But I’m tired of hearing ‘Jingle Bells’ like 700 or 800 times a day.’’

Wilder is asking Falcone to “show some Christmas spirit by being considerate and stop annoying the entire neighborhood.”

According to news reports, Falcone did not respond to media requests for comment.

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?
