  The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals has struck down the FCC's ability to regulate Internet service providers through so-called "network neutrality" rules. This article, Sixth Circuit appeals court strikes down FCC's net neutrality rules,

The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals has struck down the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) net neutrality rules, which were reinstated in 2023 under the Biden administration. These rules aimed to prevent internet service providers (ISPs) from blocking, throttling, or engaging in paid prioritization of internet traffic. The court's decision was based on the argument that the FCC overstepped its authority in reclassifying broadband internet as a telecommunications service under Title II of the Communications Act, thereby imposing utility-style regulations on ISPs. This ruling could potentially lead to a rollback of net neutrality protections, allowing ISPs greater freedom to manage internet traffic as they see fit, which might affect internet openness and consumer access to online content. The decision has significant implications for internet governance, potentially influencing future regulatory approaches and legislative actions concerning internet freedom and competition.
