Net Neutrality Rules Reinstated by the FCC

In a recent development, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted in favor of reinstating net neutrality rules, which were previously abandoned during the Trump administration's deregulatory period. The reinstatement classifies broadband services as common carriers under Title II of the Telecommunications Act, allowing the FCC to oversee and regulate the activities of broadband providers. These rules aim to ensure that Internet Service Providers (ISPs) do not block or throttle legal content or prioritize certain content for faster delivery speeds, promoting internet openness and fairness.
