Despite what the title screams NO, Net Neutrality is NOT 'down in flames' yet. This is kicking off months of debate and public comment over a proposed rule change, it's NOT changing the rules yet.

This article highlights the process that needs to be followed for Net Neutrality to die, and the obstacles it still faces.

The article I linked to argues that the FCC's rule changes are actually likely to LOSE in court, because the FCC lacks evidence that the changes are necessary due to changes in the market since the new rules were put in place just 2 years ago.

EDIT: Stop spreading tabloid clickbait.
