FCC plans to restore net neutrality rules garner support from advocates
Open internet advocates are supporting the Federal Communications Commission plan to vote on reinstating broadband oversight and net neutrality rules on April 25.
FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel emphasizes the necessity of restoring net neutrality to safeguard broadband networks, consumer data, and ensure an open internet.
The proposed plan aims to reverse the previous administration’s rollback by reclassifying broadband under Title II.
Advocates assert that Title II classification will empower the FCC to protect internet users, promote competition, and address issues like digital redlining.
They highlight the importance of net neutrality in preserving democracy, particularly in facilitating access to information during elections.
