Before the FCC voted 3-2 to kill neutrality, Americans had an opportunity to read the proposal and submit comments to the FCC. However, you might as well have been shouting at a wall. The whole process was highly suspect, with the system inundated with fake pro-repeal comments by everyone from deceased relatives to, apparently, former President Barack Obama himself. You know, the guy whose administration spoke in favor of net neutrality regulations in the first place.

"The unprecedented regulatory power the Obama administration imposed on the internet is smothering innovation, damaging the American economy, and obstructing job creation," Obama apparently wrote about his own regulations. "I urge the Federal Communications Commission to end the bureaucratic regulatory overreach of the internet known as Title II and restore the bipartisan light-touch regulatory consensus that enabled the internet to flourish for more than 20 years. The plan currently under consideration at the FCC to repeal Obama's Title II power grab is a positive step forward and will help to promote a truly free and open internet for everyone."
