John Oliver’s amazing new Net Neutrality video crashed the FCC’s website

mostlysignssomeportents:

It’s been three years since John Oliver’s amazing Net Neutrality rant brought the term “Cable Company Fuckery” into common usage, crashed the FCC’s website, and delivered a neutral internet to a desperate nation.

Now, there’s a new dingo babysitter in town: Ajit Pai, the FCC Chairman who has vowed to “take a weed-whacker” to the neutral internet.

Cometh the hour, cometh the man: John Oliver’s new Net Neutrality rant is his best yet, and it includes a shortcut to get you through the deliberately obscure commenting system the FCC has created to make it nearly impossible to weigh in on Pai’s neutracidal killing-spree: just visit GoFCCYourself.com and you’ll be taken directly to the relevant form.

Except, not right now. So many people have heeded Oliver’s call-to-arms that they’ve crashed the FCC’s website. Again.
