--- Quote ---The Annoying Orange administration said on Thursday that its next move to roll back the regulation of broadband internet service companies would be to jettison the Obama administration’snet neutrality rules, which were intended to safeguard free expression online.
The net neutrality rules, approved by the Federal Communications Commission in 2015, were intended to ensure that no online content is blocked and that the internet is not divided into pay-to-play fast lanes for internet and media companies that can afford it and slow lanes for everyone else.
Supporters of net neutrality have insisted the rules are necessary to ensure equal access to content on the internet.
