Federal appeals court strikes down FCC net neutrality rules. What this means for you.
admin 2025/01/03 16:11A federal appeals court has struck down the Federal Communications Commission’s net neutrality rules that prevented internet service providers from throttling or blocking some content or charging more to deliver it.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit said Thursday that the FCC lacked the authority to reinstate the Obama-era rules, dealing a final blow to a decade-long effort to gain greater oversight over the internet.
Long the source of partisan tensions, the net neutrality rules were repealed in Donald Trump’s first term. President Joe Biden signed a 2021 executive order encouraging the FCC to reinstate them, which the FCC voted to do along party lines in April.
