A bill to reverse the reversal of net neutrality rules was approved in the US House of Representatives by a 232-190 vote, though it will likely be shot down in the Senate. If not there, it would still face a likely veto by President Trump.

The concept of net neutrality has become a partisan issue, which makes the fate of net neutrality rules dependent on whether Democrats or Republicans hold majority control. In the House, Democrats occupy more seats, hence why the bill was able to pass a vote—only one Republican broke from party lines to vote in favor of the bill, according to Politico.
