It's factually incorrect though.
> Two years ago, the FCC suddenly changed course – even though there was no problem that the agency needed to solve.
There was a problem. The FCC enacted the Open Internet Order establishing Net Neutrality in 2010, Verizon sued the FCC in 2014 and the court said the FCC could only enact the order if Verizon was a Title II common carrier. The FCC reclassified so that they could enforce the Open Internet Order, like the court said it must.
You could argue that there was no problem that the Open Internet Order addressed but that happened in 2010, 6 years ago, not two.
