Trump’s FCC chairman, Ajit Pai, is no exception — this year he’s stooped to incredible lows in his attempt to justify his repeal of Net Neutrality and a plethora of other consumer protections.

From wireless text messaging to low-income phone access, Pai is taking a “weed-whacker” (his words, not ours) to rules regulating just about every modern mode of communication.

As the year comes to a close, we’ve compiled a list of lowlights from Pai’s misinformation campaign. Read ’em, weep — then join us in the fight to #StoptheFCC:

1. Pai acknowledges the FCC lied about a DDoS attack taking down the agency’s public-comment system during the Net Neutrality repeal proceeding. This doozy was just one of many irregularities during the proceeding back in 2017. But the truth came to light this year — and we’re confident that Net Neutrality will soon be restored.

2. Pai falsely claimed that Net Neutrality rules hurt broadband investment in his testimony before Congress.

Here’s our point-by-point takedown of his favorite arguments against Title II Net Neutrality.
