FCC Votes to Reinstate Net Neutrality Rules in First Step Toward Stricter Internet Oversight
- FCC voted to take first step toward reinstating net neutrality rules repealed in 2017
- Goal is to reclassify broadband as a common carrier under Title II, allowing stricter oversight
- Public can now comment on the proposal before a final vote by the FCC
- Repeal of net neutrality rules put FCC "on the wrong side of history," says Chair Jessica Rosenworcel
- Republican commissioners opposed the move, arguing net neutrality rules are unnecessary and would be overturned
