Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai told The Wall Street Journal on Monday that he and his family are still being threatened in the months since the agency voted to roll back Obama-era net neutrality rules.
Pai visited the newspapers offices on Monday, the day the repeal went into effect, and said he has continued to receive threats following the December vote. His wife and in-laws have also received threatening phone calls and messages at home and at work, according to Journal opinion writer James Freeman.
Freeman wrote that Pais family still requires 24-hour security as a result.
The repeal of the 2015 net neutrality rules went into effect this week.

Maybe he can hire Scott Pruitt's security detail.

Yet, he is the victim? Umm, ok. Obviously, I don't defend threats against his family, but I have my doubts they exist.
and I too doubt that the threats mentioned really exist.

(4,407 posts)Told Ryssdal that the American public supports the repeal of Net Neutrality, Maybe if he stopped lying people would step threatening him. Not condoning threats but I can't say I will lose any sleep over his consequences.
