Net neutrality, which lasted from 2015 to 2018, blocked broadband providers from slowing or blocking internet access or charging companies more for faster access. In December 2017, the Republican-led Federal Communications Commission voted to repeal Obama-era net neutrality rules.

Democrats in Congress have said the repeal allows for large broadband and wireless companies to "control people's online activities." Tech companies such as Amazon and Facebook, as well as tech pioneers such as Tim Berners-Lee, have spoken out against net neutrality's repeal.
