"US FCC Chair Pushes for Net Neutrality Restoration Amid Democratic Panel Control"
The chair of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Jessica Rosenworcel, plans to reinstate net neutrality rules that were rescinded under former President Donald Trump. Democrats now hold majority control of the FCC, and an initial vote on the proposal is expected in October. Net neutrality rules, which were adopted in 2015 under President Barack Obama, prevent internet service providers from blocking or throttling traffic or offering paid fast lanes. Rosenworcel's move aligns with President Joe Biden's executive order to encourage the FCC to reinstate these rules.
