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Here's what happened after that brief experiment was repealed under the Trump Administration and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai - internet speeds skyrocketed despite late-night comedians' and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

Sue, of course. At least that's what a Brooklyn man did.

Sean McGinn, a 37-year-old TV producer, sued Match.com alleging that the popular matchmaking website dangles phony date bait by posting profiles of people who no longer subscribe to the service.

In a class action suit filed in a Manhattan federal court, McGinn seeks an unspecified amount of damages in excess of $5 million against Match.com for inflicting “humiliation and disappointment” on lonely hearts “who feel rejected when their e-mails get no reply.” McGinn is demanding that the Internet's largest dating site “cease and desist its deceptive practices.”

According to the lawsuit, “Match's policy causes severe emotional distress and anxiety for some [subscribers], including those who keep writing e-mails to one member after another and never hear back because he/she is writing to people who've canceled."

McGinn declined to comment, but his lawyer did say that shortly after filing the suit, McGinn “met someone he's happy with” through the site.

To date, the lawsuit remains active.
