FCC Reinstates Net Neutrality Rules

The Federal Communications Commission has voted to restore Obama-era net neutrality regulations, ensuring equal treatment of internet traffic.

  • The FCC voted 3-2 along party lines to bring back net neutrality, reversing the deregulation under the Trump administration.
  • Net neutrality rules prevent internet service providers from blocking, throttling, or prioritizing internet traffic.
  • The move classifies broadband as a telecommunications service under Title II, subjecting it to stricter oversight.
  • Opponents argue the rules could hinder investment and innovation in the broadband industry.
  • The decision is seen as a victory for consumer rights and digital equality.
