The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has taken a significant step by reinstating the 'net neutrality' rules that were first introduced in 2015. These rules aim to prevent broadband internet providers from showing favoritism towards certain sites and applications over others. This decision marks a reversal of the 2017 repeal of these rules during the Trump administration.
Net neutrality is a fundamental principle that advocates for all internet traffic to be treated equally by service providers. This means that providers should not engage in practices such as throttling or blocking specific websites or applications, nor should they offer faster speeds to customers who are willing to pay extra.
