What was that? I am so disappointed to see that they featured a video showing net neutrality being ONLY about facebook, youtube and more video streaming... If they wanted to go mainstream, John Oliver did a much better job (and funnier, btw) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpbOEoRrHyU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpbOEoRrHyU

It seems like such a strange example, doesn't it? Judging by what's happened on the mobile side, Facebook will be the last thing to disappear if net neutrality goes away. Youtube on the other hand, I dunno. It is a video hosting site - probably ripe for the capping/throttling/whatever, but it's also a much higher profile target then something like Netflix.

They did link to the John Oliver rant, but I agree it should have been the video that was featured.

It should be noted that particular rant caused a measurable uptick in the number of comments to the FCC: http://i.imgur.com/QkAysKU.png http://i.imgur.com/QkAysKU.png

Oliver implied that we have net neutrality now, and the FCC is trying to take it away. If the large number of people who watched that video and then commented based their comments on that, there is a decent chance that they told the FCC to not regulate the internet, which in effect telling the FCC that the commentator is against net neutrality.
