Social had a meltdown last month when, despite the protests of industry experts and millions of Americans, the Federal Communications Commission rolled back Obama-era protections for Net Neutrality by allowing Internet service providers to set up fast lanes and slow lanes, charging customers based how much content they consume. The decision sparked an 85 percent negative reaction online, especially after FCC Chairman Ajit Pai posted a video mocking Net Neutrality advocates. But now another Net Neutrality move is having the opposite reaction. Democrats in Congress have promised to force a vote to preserve the policy. Although there’s no telling whether they’ll succeed, that’s not the point, according to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. “Millennials played a huge role in sending Doug Jones to the Senate in Alabama,” Schumer said Tuesday. “So make no mistake about it, Net Neutrality will be a major issue in the 2018 campaigns, and we’re going to let everybody know where we stand and where they stand.” Social knows where it stands. The Democratic tactic is getting 84 percent positive sentiments. –Hugo Guzman
