As you probably already knew, federal net neutrality rules finally die today after the FCC's unpopular repeal vote last December. And as you might expect, FCC boss Ajit Pai is making the rounds doing what he's done throughout this entire process: bullshitting the public about what his historically unpopular (and misleadingly-named) "Restoring Internet Freedom" order actually does. Over in a CNET editorial for example, Pai goes so far as to proclaim that gutting these extremely popular open internet protections will somehow make everything much, much, better:

"I support a free and open internet. The internet should be an open platform where you are free to go where you want, and say and do what you want, without having to ask anyone's permission. And under the Federal Communications Commission's Restoring Internet Freedom Order, which takes effect Monday, the internet will be just such an open platform. Our framework will protect consumers and promote better, faster internet access and more competition."
