TIFU by voting to end net neutrality

reddit: the front page of the internet 2017-07-12

Obligatory "this didn't happen today". Well, actually I guess it's happening right now.

Today is the Internet Wide Day of Action to Save Net Neutrality, and /r/TIFU is participating. We support a free and open Internet, so today we have restricted the submissions to this subreddit to give you a feel of what it might look like if net neutrality is ended.

Here are some links for further reading about net neutrality:
