Free Press Senior Director of Strategy Tim Karr talks to Salon about what’s next.

Timothy Karr discusses the implications of the Trump’s FCC vote to kill Net Neutrality. He also explains how people can fight to nullify today’s undemocratic vote.

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

WASHINGTON — On Friday, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer pledged to bring a bill to the floor to undo the Federal Communication Commission’s recent repeal of Net Neutrality protections.

Over the objections of the commission’s two Democrats, the three Republican members, including Chairman Ajit Pai, voted to overturn protections put in place in 2015 — but not before fudging a few facts.

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.
