The FCC voted in December to repeal its net neutrality rules. Those rules prohibited ISPs from blocking or slowing access to certain websites and kept the Internet a level playing field for startups.
California lawmakers are considering legislation, SB 822, that would reinstate those net neutrality protections and make sure ISPs can't manipulate Internet traffic to benefit their own services or slow down or even block websites and services of that can’t afford to pay ISPs. The bill has already made it through two Senate committees of jurisdiction and is headed to a third committee later this month.
