I’m really glad this is being done, I just hope that it has teeth. It’s going to be very annoying when the next regime from across the aisle tries to repeal the rules again. I assume there’s not an easy way to make these rules permanent. I’m happy to be wrong about that though.

A shit pie.

Remember that absolutely fucking stupid ad Ajit made about using the net? Awful.

In all seriousness, what has having these laws repealed done? I'm asking because I don't know.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Federal Communications Commission Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel today announced plans to restore net neutrality rules similar to those that were adopted during the Obama era and then repealed by the FCC when Donald Trump was president.

Rosenworcel announced her plans in a speech today, one day after the FCC gained a 3-2 Democratic majority with the swearing-in of Commissioner Anna Gomez.

Similar to the previous rules, FCC officials said they don't plan to impose rate regulation or "unbundling" requirements that would force broadband providers to share networks with other companies.

In a fact sheet, the FCC said the proposal would "establish basic rules for Internet Service Providers that prevent them from blocking legal content, throttling your speeds, and creating fast lanes that favor those who can pay for access."

California enforces net neutrality rules that mirror what the FCC adopted in 2015 and beat industry attempts to get the state law overturned.

Rosenworcel said that because FCC authority is generally centered on phone systems instead of broadband, the commission often needs "duct tape and baling wire" to provide legal justification for its rules.

The original article contains 843 words, the summary contains 182 words. Saved 78%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Literally can't live without the internet these days. It needs to be a protected utility like any other.

The article mentions CA still enforcing net neutrality rules. How does that work? Eventually you have to hop outside the state for many services.. are those backbones required to abide by those rules or can they still throttle as a result being out of state?

I firmly believe in all data being treated equally for the record and I hope this gets fixed. ISPs were kind of slow on throttling but it's becoming more and more obvious in the last couple years in my experience.

Why did this not happen earlier? It seems there is some intentional delay for political purposes.
