HUGE WIN: Biden's FCC Chair Announces Plan to Restore Net Neutrality, Erasing Ajit Pai's Legacy
Channel: The Humanist Report
Date: 2023-09-27

Biden administration FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel announced that net neutrality is coming back! She denounced the Trump administration’s 2017 repeal under Ajit Pai and announced that the Obama-era protections for net neutrality will be voted on—which are likely to pass now that Democratic commissioners hold the majority on the FCC after years of deadlock. In this video we’ll explain why this is huge news, but discuss the incoming disinformation campaign to stop this positive change.
