The Federal Communications Commission is set to vote on April 25 to bring back net neutrality regulations that were first implemented during the Obama administration in 2015 and later dismantled under the Trump administration in 2017. The proposed regulations would classify broadband as a utility under Title II of the Communications Act, empowering the FCC to prevent service providers from blocking, throttling, or creating paid prioritization for internet traffic. The original 2015 net neutrality rules were upheld by a federal appeals court in 2016.
