Attorneys general from across the country will sue the Federal Communications Commission in an attempt to reverse the repeal of Net Neutrality rules.

WASHINGTON — Hundreds of Net Neutrality advocates will protest outside Federal Communications Commission headquarters on Thursday before the agency votes on Chairman Ajit Pai’s proposal to undo Net Neutrality protections.
