This is ridiculously exaggerated. All that happened is cancelling an Obama bill from december 2016 that's in effect since january. Which was clearly rushed and also contains a lot of anti-consumer stuff.

Exactly how is it exaggerated.  First and foremost, it was not a Obama bill, it was an FCC rule that was put in place during Obama presidency.  Second, the rule required internet providers to get cuwtomers permission before sharing their browsing history with other companies.  Now if you do not know the implementation or overturning that rule, then no one really need to go any deeper with you.  Also not sure where you are getting your information from but if you believe the FCC net neutraliglity rules were anti-consumer we probably do not need to discuss anything further on the subject.

I too am curious, I know little to nothing about the bill, what was anti-consumer in it?
