U.S. Federal Communications Commission chair Jessica Rosenworcel plans to begin an effort to reinstate landmark net neutrality rules rescinded under then-President Donald Trump, sources briefed on the matter said Monday.
The move comes after Democrats took majority control of the five-member FCC on Monday for the first time since President Joe Biden took office in January 2021 when new FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez was sworn in.
The FCC is set to take an initial vote on the net neutrality proposal in October, the sources added.
No contest. Americans fought so hard for Net Neutrality, and then Trump and Ajit Pai popped in and took a steaming shit on everything.
I read that as “a streaming shit”. I guess that works, too.
A shit pie?
Has there ever been a better example of the government giving the middle finger to its constituents? Nearly 90% of Democrats and 80% of Republicans supported net neutrality and it STILL got overturned. That just blows my mind.
Codify it into law or it will just be destroyed again the next time we’re stupid enough to elect a Republican.
Verizon would just block it with their corporate veto powers.
Wish we had a Congress that could codify it instead of worrying about the shit show that is admin law. Sadly that’s what America runs on nowadays.
Good news.
congress needs to put it into law which means we need to vote for congressmen that will do that. Granted mine do.
Jessica Rosenworcel is such a babe
If Menendez resigns, does that mean the Dems lose control of the Senate?
Dems have a majority of 51 (3 “independent”), there are 49 Republicans.
