Poll of the Day > FCC chairman Ajit Pai says his children are being harassed over net neutrality

(+) Yeah! (+)

After proposing to dismantle net neutrality rules, and setting off a firestorm of criticism, Ajit Pai, the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, said his family has become the target of harassment.

During an interview Monday on Fox & Friends, viewers were shown cardboard signs that host Steve Doocy said were put up at Pai's home in suburban Virginia. One sign, appearing to refer to Pai's children, read: They will come to know the truth. Dad murdered Democracy in cold blood.

Pai said those signs crossed a line, even as he noted the charged debate over net neutrality. I understand that people are passionate about policy, but the one thing in America that should remain sacred is that families, wives and kids, should remain out of it. And stop harassing us at our homes.

Last week Pai took aim at the signature Obama-era regulation designed to ensure that all websites are treated equally by Internet providers. Under Pai's plan, those rules would be stripped, granting Internet providers broad powers to determine what websites and online services their customers see and use. Republicans hold three out of five seats at the FCC. And Pai said he expects the plan to pass at a Dec. 14 meeting on a party-line vote.

Boo hoo. Do something unpopular an people get mad. Who'da thunk?? /s

The only sympathy I feel towards his children is that they must suffer having him as their father.

He probably puts more up himself. Seems like a parent who'd pull munchousen syndrome by proxy.

Oh no, his silver spoon having kids had to read a sign saying the truth about what their father is doing while he's selling the country to the highest bidder. The line was fucking crossed by him. The End.

Pretty much. It'd be one thing if his kids were actually being threatened (though not something that would in any way diminish the pro-net neutrality position, despite it being used for that end), but just reading a sign saying people hate what he's doing? If you don't want people to tell you that they hate what you're doing, don't do things people are going to hate.

The only positive to Pai ending net neutrality is that the wipeout of the GOP in 2018 will grow far more massive.
You fuck with people's internet (and by internet I mean porn), THAT will get people out to vote in anger! It's not even a partisan issue anymore at that point, it's "these fuckers slowed down our porn!" :D
Utah could even turn blue!
All joking aside, Utah is like the highest per capita consumer of porn
