FCC Votes Again to Reinstate Net Neutrality Rules Despite Opposition

The FCC voted 3-2 to reinstate net neutrality rules, classifying ISPs as public utilities under Title II. This is the second time it has done so along party lines.

Supporters say it prevents ISPs from blocking/throttling traffic unless companies pay more. Opponents call it unnecessary regulation.

FCC Chair says it's now a national security issue, but opponents point out the internet didn't "break" after the 2017 repeal of Title II.

Big Tech companies, not ISPs, are the ones accused of antitrust violations regarding open internet principles.

The proposal will now undergo public comment period and likely face legal challenges, as it did previously under Obama and Trump administrations.
