I've just talked about this in another thread so I'll summarise it here.
Cloudflare should implement this for their clients to opt in to protest.
They identify IP ranges that are related to people who can threaten or influence net neutrality. E.g. Comcast, congress, any backers of this new bill, even Comcast customers, etc
When a user from one of these blacklisted IP ranges visits your site they get presented with the 'protest page'. It explains why they are about to be throttled and how they can join the protest (contact congress rep, etc). It also shows participating protest sites as a leaderboard - total throttled users (featuring Cloudflares biggest customers).
I don't even mind if they inject a banner onto the top if my website that announces me as a proud supporter of net neutrality.
