Existing net neutrality laws are getting flushed down the toilet, there's little doubt about that. Despite the protests and warnings of what could potentially follow, the FCC, led by chairman Ajit Pai, is going to strip away protections when it votes on net neutrality later this week. In place of existing rules, the FCC and FTC are partnering to police the web to make sure it doesn't turn into the wild west afterwards. Well, in theory, anyway.

As outlined, the agreement calls for the FTC to look into claims of bad behavior by ISPs once existing rules have been dismantled.
