Net Neutrality is Back!
Yesterday, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted 3-2 to reinstate net neutrality rules and protect consumers online. We applaud this decision to keep the internet open and accessible to all, and reverse the 2018 roll-back of net neutrality protections. Alongside our many partners and allies, Mozilla has been a long time proponent of net neutrality across the world and in U.S. states, and mobilized hundreds of thousands of people over the years.
The new FCC order reclassifies broadband internet as a “telecommunications service” and prevents ISPs from blocking, throttling, or paid prioritization of traffic. This action restores meaningful and enforceable FCC oversight and protection on the internet, and unlocks innovation, competition, and free expression online.
