The FCC’s plan to announce a straight repeal of net neutrality protections over a major US holiday weekend appears to have backfired.

Communities across the internet are livid; 12 of the top 16 posts on Reddit’s r/all have to do with net neutrality as does most of the front page of Imgur. The New York Times story about the plan to repeal the protections was “leading the home page all day,” according to Times reporter Cecilia Kang, and pro-net neutrality nonprofit BattleForTheNet.com says that in the past 24 hours, more than 200,000 people have used the site to call Congress to protest the decision.
