| Jason, Donald Trump's pick to lead the FCC wants to destroy Net Neutrality. Ajit Pai, a former Verizon lawyer, has vowed to reverse all of the agency's pro-consumer free speech protections. He told phone and cable lobbyists that he’ll take a “weed whacker” to the Net Neutrality rules.1 It makes sense that Trump promoted Pai, who's served on the FCC as a commissioner since 2012. He's long pushed “alternative facts” about Net Neutrality, which must have endeared him to the president and his corporate handlers.
