6:22Now PlayingOn John Oliver's 'Last Week Tonight' he discussed FCC Chairman Ajit Pai's attempt to gut net neutrality by undoing its classification as a public utility under Title II. Oliver directed his viewers to send comments to the FCC, and so many did so that it temporarily crashed their website. The FCC attempted to demonize his viewers, alleging they were the victims of a DDoS attack, and that the FCC's website was shut down by people that didn't have an interest in submitting legitimate complaints.
