A Crushing Defeat for Net NeutralityA Crushing Defeat for Net Neutrality

 If you’re familiar with Net Neutrality, you know that the Obama Administration was pushing six principles that would define a free and open internet. The Trump Administration threw them out. California was so mad about it that it wrote its own Net Neutrality law, which the Trump Administration and a bunch of cable and telecom trade associations sued to overturn.

The Biden Administration has now withdrawn the complaint, but the case will continue because the cable and telecom industry associations hate it. California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said, “This action affirms the importance of a free and open internet to maintain a competitive marketplace and a fair democracy. We will keep fighting in court to defend net neutrality for all Californians.”
