Net neutrality is making a comeback with an FCC vote Thursday, which means internet providers will not be able to speed up or even slow down certain web traffic. Now, new FCC rules ban blocking, throttling, or even disadvantaging certain content, apps or services. They also bar prioritizing them in return for payment.
The Federal Communications Commission made its official vote Thursday to reinstate net neutrality, which bars broadband providers from slowing or even blocking internet traffic to some sites while improving access to others that pay extra fees. With some changes and protections, passing the order titled Safeguarding and Securing the Open Internet restores rules passed back during the Obama administration in 2015 and rolled back in 2017, after Donald Trump was elected president. Since the FCC announced in September that it would be pursuing this as a policy goal, it was more or less a fait accompli; there was no real reason why the Commission, split 3-2 in favor of the Democrats, would vote against it.
The Federal Communications Commission has voted to restore net neutrality protections. Under those rules, ISPs are not allowed to throttle access to specific sites or charge streaming services for faster service.
