"FCC to Vote on Restoring Net Neutrality Rules"

The FCC will vote on April 25th on a proposal to restore net neutrality rules, potentially reclassifying internet service providers as common carriers and bringing stricter regulations. The move aims to prevent ISPs from treating internet traffic differently, such as throttling or blocking. FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel introduced the proposal, emphasizing the need to secure broadband networks, protect consumer data, and ensure an open internet. Critics argue that the move is unnecessary and anti-consumer, while the FCC believes it will lead to greater oversight, cybersecurity standards, and national security protection. If approved, the reclassification and rules will take effect 60 days after publication.
