The U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) filed a lawsuit against California Sunday after the state's governor, Jerry Brown, signed a bill reinstating net neutrality into law.

The Obama-era legislation was dismantled by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in June, but Brown moved to re-enact the rules at a state level. At its core, net neutrality forces internet providers to treat all data equally—and not give enhanced coverage for money.
