The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has voted to reinstate Obama-era net neutrality rules, reversing policies from the Trump administration. The vote, which occurred on April 25, narrowly passed with a 3-2 split along party lines. The decision reclassifies broadband service under the Communications Act, subjecting it to common carrier telecom rules. This move aims to ensure equal access to all internet content, setting the stage for potential legal challenges. The 434-page proposal was voted on April 25.
