FCC to Roll Back Net Neutrality Rules
Summary from the AllSides News Team
The head of the FCC announced that he will rescind Obama-era net neutrality regulations that require service providers to give equal access to web content for all consumers. Many large corporations support the move, as it will enable Verizon, AT&T, and Comcast to block and/or promote preferred content. Detractors say it provides certain companies an unfair advantage.
