Overview
The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the FCC lacks the authority to enforce net neutrality, which prohibits internet service providers from blocking or throttling content. This decision reverses the Biden administration's efforts to reinstate Obama-era rules, highlighting the ongoing political battle over internet regulation. Consumer advocates argue this ruling leaves users vulnerable to abuse by broadband providers, while Republicans see it as a victory for deregulation. Chair Jessica Rosenworcel urges Congress to legislate protections directly following this setback.
