Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai led the other Republican commissioners in repealing Net Neutrality rules that required internet service providers to treat all online content equally.

The FCC is under attack — and so too is the First Amendment.

More than 100 Republican members of Congress voiced their support for repealing the Net Neutrality rules in a letter circulated a day before the vote, giving their constituents — who are overwhelmingly opposed to this decision — little or no time to respond.

The FCC passed a motion, as expected, to repeal Net Neutrality rules — ignoring the millions of people and the hundreds of online companies that have objected to the repeal.

The Federal Communications Commission voted to roll back key Net Neutrality protections, but that doesn’t mean Net Neutrality is going away completely. At least, not yet.

Despite overwhelming public support for a free and open internet, the FCC’s Trump-aligned majority engineered a 3-2 vote to overturn Net Neutrality rules that have required Internet service providers to treat all online communications equally.

The Federal Communications Commission swept aside rules barring broadband providers from favoring the internet traffic of websites willing to pay for speedier service, sending the future of Net Neutrality on to a likely court challenge.

The fight for the open internet isn’t over.

The FCC vote won’t end the fight over rules that prohibit internet service providers from creating fast lanes for some content, while blocking or throttling others.

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.
