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Here's what happened after that brief experiment was repealed under the Trump Administration and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai - internet speeds skyrocketed despite late-night comedians' and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

Facebook has made a bank robber more popular than he likely would prefer. Dubbed the "Geezer Bandit," the bank-robbing old man's wrinkled face appears on t-shirts and thousands of people "like" him on one of the two Facebook pages set up to honor the crook.
 
Photos of the Geezer Bandit show him to be between 60 and 70 years old, although authorities claim he could be someone younger disguised under a lifelike special effects mask. Regardless, they warn, he is an armed and dangerous menace.

One frequent commentator on a Facebook site said he is pleased to see a robber targeting Bank of America. "Talk about a bunch of crooks glad to see you got some of the American people's money back," Kenny Walsh wrote.

The Geezer Bandit is believed to have robbed 13 banks over the last several years.

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?
