The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) released its proposal to overturn the landmark net neutrality rules last week. The rules – among other things – prohibit internet providers from preferring their own content and services over any competitors. Considering the importance of internet for economy and education, under the net neutrality rules internet is considered as a public utility, similar to electricity or phone lines. The new proposal outlined by the Chairman of FCC, Ajit Pai, sets to reclassify broadband internet service as an information service thereby removing the regulations and protections that come under Title II.

Consumer rights groups and internet freedom activists have been urging everyone to read the draft (link here) to see first hand how it can affect the end user and their freedom. The new FCC administration is known for working for big corporations, having already passed rules that empower ISPs to sell consumer data without user consent. While FCC may be the agency that pushes forward these draconian rules, they are then moved to the Senate and Congress to approve these changes.
