The Federal Trade Commission voted to restore “net neutrality” rules that prevent broadband internet providers from favoring some sites and apps over others.
Join us for a discussion over antisemitism on America's college campuses, what's behind it and what's being done to fight back.FILE - Sammi LeMaster helps to dismantle a large alarm clock display that reads " Net Neutrality Wake Up Call" from the stage after a protest at the Federal Communications Commission in Washington, Thursday, Dec. 14, 2017, where the FCC is scheduled to meet and vote on net neutrality .
The rules, for instance, ban practices that throttle or block certain sites or apps, or that reserve higher speeds for the services or customers willing to pay more for them. While it's been almost seven years since the FCC killed the previous net neutrality rules, their reinstatement isn't expected to noticeably change users' online experience. Public Knowledge legal director John Bergmayer credits that to several states having passed their own net neutrality measures prior to 2015, all of which remained in force when the FCC reversed course two years later following Trump's election.
