John Oliver is going after the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) again.

Back in 2014, the HBO host’s first big viral hit was a Last Week Tonight segment on net neutrality, the idea that governments and internet service providers (ISPs) should treat all data on the internet the same.

The day after the segment aired, more than 45,000 people submitted comments to the FCC about net neutrality, crashing the government website.

In 2015, the agency released new rules that helped shore up net neutrality.

With the Trump administration planning to roll back the net neutrality rules established during the Obama presidency, Oliver lead the charge once more by devoting the lion’s share of Sunday’s show to the topic and encouraging viewers to visit the FCC’s website to lodge a complaint.


“Do not tell me that you don’t have time to do this,” Oliver said, encouraging people of all political leanings to protest the proposed changes. “If the internet is evidence of nothing else, it is evidence that we all have way too much time on our hands.”

Oliver’s team made the complaint process easier for viewers, buying the URL gofccyourself.com, which redirects visitors to the specific web address to submit a net neutrality complaint. While the page is still running, multiple news outlets and social media users reported that the net neutrality page was down shortly after the segment aired.
