Bicyclist protests net neutrality by slowing traffic outside the FCC building

From The Hill
<hr>
<blockquote>
A protester opposed to the Federal Communication Commission's (FCC) net neutrality repeal slowed traffic to a crawl outside the FCC Monday as a demonstration against the repeal. 
 
A video released Monday shows Rob Bliss, video director for the website Seriously.TV, setting up traffic cones to block all but one lane for cars, then riding a bike slowly in the lane.
 
Bliss wore a sign encouraging drivers to upgrade to “priority access membership” for $5 a month, which would allow them to drive at normal speeds. 
 
The protest was meant to mimic what critics say will be the effect of the net neutrality repeal, which will allow internet service providers to favor certain content or require content providers to pay for faster speeds.
 
Bliss's experiment includes scuffles with police officers, who threw away his traffic cones and threatened to “lock [his] ass up.” 
 
“I’m trying to restore automotive freedom,” Bliss told officers in the video.

As a proponent of net neutrality that is disgusted by the outright corruption on display by Ajit Pai, I got a nice warm feeling from this protest. I like to think that many ass clowns at the FCC including Pai had their morning ruined.

An excellent example of civil disobedience, however the real question is how do we regulate the FCC's capability to do its job? Its a good idea, but slowing the traffic is only making it harder for the people driving in it and subsequently making them not want to support your cause.

Has anyone's internet actually slowed down since net neutrality was repealed? Mine hasn't, i don't know any one whose has. Kinda beating a dead horse here. It happened, it wasn't the "end of the internet as we know it", lets move on.
