Net neutrality is dead again: US court says the FCC can't bring back Obama-era internet regulations

A US appeals court has ruled that the Federal Communications Commission does not have the authority to bring back net neutrality regulations, and has thus set aside the "Safeguarding Order" that would have restored them.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit has ruled that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) does not have the authority to reinstate net neutrality rules established during the Obama administration. This decision upholds the repeal of these regulations by the FCC under Chairman Ajit Pai in 2017, which had classified internet service providers (ISPs) under Title II of the Communications Act, treating them as public utilities. The court's decision means that ISPs can continue to manage internet traffic without adhering to net neutrality principles, potentially allowing for practices like paid prioritization, where companies could pay for faster lanes on the internet. This ruling has significant implications for internet freedom and equality, as net neutrality advocates argue it could lead to a tiered internet where not all content is treated equally.
