Rebooting digital equality: FCC to restore net neutrality, reversing Trump-era repeal

Salon  

On April 25, the Federal Communications Commission will vote to restore landmark rules governing net neutrality — a federal policy with a history of popular bipartisan support that safeguards free speech online by requiring federally contracted telecom companies like AT&T to treat all internet traffic the same, barring them from blocking websites or slowing down internet speeds for profit. Under Title II of the Communications Act, the restored net neutrality rules would grant the FCC oversight authority over broadband companies, re-affirming the internet as an essential service. Swarztrauber is a previous policy advisor to former Verizon lawyer and former FCC Chairman Ajit Pai — the Trump appointee who led the net neutrality rollback, known for "defanging" the FCC, frequenting Koch parties, and giving $9.2 billion in federal funds to internet providers in a "reverse auction" so questionable that some companies may even have to give the money back. "We’ve been fighting for this moment since Trump’s FCC threw out strong Title II rules and abandoned net neutrality back in 2017 – and really for nearly 20 years since net neutrality first came under threat," said Free Press Action co-CEO Craig Aaron in a statement.
