Major update on the fight to bring back net neutrality, John.
Last week, a federal court ruled that the FCC’s 2017 decision to overturn
net neutrality was legally flawed. It said the agency could not prevent
states from enacting their own open internet legislation — but the court
did not reverse the order entirely.
Where does that leave us? It means that for now, on the national level,
net neutrality is still repealed -- indefinitely. But that can all change
with a Democratic president committed to restoring net neutrality
protections and taking the internet back from Big Cable.
DFA has partnered with a coalition of progressive organizations calling on
the 2020 presidential candidates to take our net neutrality pledge.

As long as net neutrality protections are repealed, Big Cable and phone
companies are free to rip consumers off by charging more for internet
‘fast lanes.’ We’ve already seen some alarming reports of internet
providers slowing online services. Not only that, but they can even see
and control the information we’re accessing online.
The next president has the ability to restore crucial open internet
protections. But Big Cable is trying to prevent that by using its money to
influence the election.

call on the Democratic presidential candidates to pledge their commitment
to restoring net neutrality and refusing contributions from Big Cable →
Together, we can once again achieve a free and open internet.
