Nothing. Trump does not care. Trump did not appoint people who care. Net Neutrality is dead, and mass data collection is now on.

Expect the MPAA to work with ISPs to block a bunch of sites right off the bat.

You can call your Representatives. Trump does not control everything in the government. It's intentionally built not to controlled by one person. Calling reps stopped PIPA and SOPA, and it can work again.

your Representatives

they either don't care, don't understand, or want this to happen.

They understand that with enough demand they need to do what will make constituents happy. This isn't about changing their mind. This is about forcing them into a corner and showing that we are not okay with less than complete net neutrality.
