'Under Trump, the FCC had argued the net neutrality rules were unnecessary, blocked innovation and resulted in a decline in network investment by internet service providers, a contention disputed by Democrats.
Rosenworcel has said the reclassification would give the FCC important new national security tools. The agency said in its initial proposal that rules could give it "more robust authority to require more entities to remove and replace" equipment and services from Chinese companies like Huawei (HWT.UL) and ZTE (000063.SZ), opens new tab.
Republican FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr opposed the move, saying that since 2017 "broadband speeds in the U.S. have increased, prices are down (and) competition has intensified." He argued the plan would result in "government control of the internet."
Despite the 2017 repeal, a dozen states now have net neutrality laws or regulations in place. Industry groups abandoned legal challenges to those state requirements in May 2022.';

'>The FCC told advocates on Tuesday of the plan to vote on the final rule at its April 25 meeting.

Unconstitutional. If Congress doesn't give the FCC authority over broadband internet, it cannot give itself that authority.';

'>Net neutrality refers to the principle that internet service providers should enable access to all content and applications regardless of the source, and without favoring or blocking particular products or websites.
It's funny that the ones who would most benefit from this are the retarded faggots who are against it. But I guess the dumb niggers are alright with the ISPs deciding what sites they can and cannot view in the age of activist corporations.';

Despite that there are already people in this thread claiming the sky is falling.
