FCC Proposes Restoring Net Neutrality Rules Rolled Back Under Trump

FCC announces proposal to bring back net neutrality rules that were rolled back under Trump administration.
Rules prevented internet providers from blocking/slowing sites or charging more for faster access. Treated providers as "common carriers".
Regulations were repealed under Trump in 2018. FCC now wants to restore similar 2015 rules under Biden administration.
Proposal would also let FCC block sites controlled by foreign adversaries, closing "national security loophole".
Initial FCC vote set for Oct 19, but more votes & comments to come. Still awhile before net neutrality fully restored.
