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Here's what happened after that brief experiment was repealed under the Trump Administration and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai - internet speeds skyrocketed despite late-night comedians' and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

Man Sues After Losing Facebook Friends Print
Tuesday, February 01 2011

A New York man is suing Facebook for $500,000 for inexplicably knocking him off the social network without warning. Mustafa Fteja filed his suit in Manhattan Supreme Court, stating that he has been using Facebook for about three years, mainly to keep in touch with family and friends in Montenegro, Albania, Germany and Austria.  Fteja claims he had 340 friends and spent countless hours uploading photos and stories to his page before it all disappeared.
 
"That was how I stayed in touch with people," said Fteja. He said he has pressed the company for months to find out what happened, but to no avail, leaving him with no choice but to file the lawsuit.
 
News reports indicate that Fteja received a form e-mail telling him he had violated the terms of the Facebook agreement.  The Web site typically cuts off users if they've posted objectionable content, or are suspected of spamming.

Fteja’s suit notes that he is Muslim, and charges Facebook with religious discrimination. "You don't treat people like that," he said. "They make a lot of money from the people. Why treat your customers like that?"
 
In addition to monetary damages, Fteja seeks restoration of his account.

So, we weren't surprised to read reports that President Joe Biden might declare a 'climate emergency' this year in hopes that it gooses his reelection odds. Never mind that such a declaration would put the U.S. right on the path to a Venezuela-style future.Late last…[more]
