As many of you pointed out the 4/1 date on that article was suspicious, so I emailed the author, Tom Wheeler never said any of those things regarding free porn, that being said , I still Think title 2 is the beginning of the end for free porn, here is his response:
Yes, it was a prank, as your astute readers determined.
However, I took great care in writing the article so that it could be entirely plausible. Only in the last paragraph did I start getting a little toungue-in-cheek, although I still tried to keep it reading somewhat realistic. The point of the article was to be a warning within a prank, as the power the FCC hijacked in the name of “net neutrality” is broad and virtually unlimited. I fear it won’t be long before the FCC does begin to throw their weight around regulating the Internet.
I’d be happy to comment on the forum if people have more questions about the article.
Thanks!

Marcel, I am writing you regarding a story you did last year on the FCC:
lifelibertytech.com/2015/04/01/fcc-declares-free-porn-illegal-encryption-as-harmful/
I posted this story on the gfy.com forum, a few people were skeptical if this was in fact a real story, or an April fools prank since it was published on 4/1/2015, could you clarify this? was it real or a prank? Here is a link to the forum in case you want to post
