The Federal Communications Commission is currently weighing how to repeal those so-called “net neutrality” rules, in a move that's expected to benefit Internet providers such as Verizon and AT&T. Internet activists, such as the Internet Association and the Fight for the Future, argue that repealing the FCC's net neutrality rules would give Internet service providers too much power to determine what consumers can and can't see online, and for what price. Proponents of the FCC's net neutrality rules, which were passed in 2015, say strong regulations are necessary to prevent ISPs from artificially directing customers to sites and applications they control or with whom they share special business relationships. There's a possibility that suit may reach the Supreme Court, but the FCC has a chance before then to repeal the net neutrality rules.
