Aren’t there two previous court cases that said the FCC does not have the legal authority to regulate the Internet? I also seem to recall a specific Congressional prohibition for the FCC to regulate the Internet. I guess this is what fascism looks like.
THe FCC is part of the administration, and they don’t like those laws, so they won’t be enforced.
The court that struck down previous net neutrality rules did so because the FCC previously classified broadband under Title I of the Telecommunications Act of 1934, but tried to apply common carrier rules that fall under Title II. The Court said that the FCC could not do so because the FCC had chosen not to classify broadband under Title II. In today’s vote, the FCC essentially revisited the previous decision to classify under Title I, changed its mind, and reclassfied under Title II.
