The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted on Thursday to restore Obama-era net neutrality rules that were previously rescinded during the Trump administration. The decision, passed by a narrow 3-2 vote along party lines, reinstates regulations that prevent internet service providers from blocking, throttling, or prioritizing certain content. This move, which reclassifies broadband service under the Communications Act as a common carrier, aims to ensure open and fair access to the internet for all users. The reinstatement of these rules has sparked controversy, with some viewing it as a necessary protection for consumers and others, including FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr, criticizing it as a governmental overreach. Legal challenges are expected to follow.

The FCC’s draft rules are a great step toward net neutrality but create puzzling and serious loopholes. The FCC must clearly ban ISPs from creating fast lanes and refrain from blocking the states from passing more protective net neutrality laws as needed. https://t.co/aVl825oJdz
