The Department of Justice has sued the state of California after Governor Jerry Brown signed California’s first net neutrality bill, SB822, into law Sunday evening. It’s the start of a new chapter in the never-ending battle to keep the internet healthy and competitive in the face of growing telecom monopoly power.

Like the FCC’s dismantled 2015 net neutrality rules, SB822 prohibits ISPs from unfairly throttling or blocking websites and services that compete with an ISP’s own offerings.
