During Sunday’s episode of “Last Week Tonight” former Daily Show correspondent John Oliver asked Internet users to comment on the FCC’s new net neutrality Internet regulation proposal — a “call to action” that prompted so many comments, they crashed the agency’s website.
WATCH:
FCC.gov/comments has been crashing intermittently since Oliver’s comments aired Sunday night, though the agency did not specify why in subsequent tweets.
We’ve been experiencing technical difficulties with our comment system due to heavy traffic. We’re working to resolve these issues quickly.
