A group of 22 state Attorneys General have filed a lawsuit to stop the Federal Communication Commission’s repeal of net neutrality. Led by New York State AG Eric Schneiderman, the coalition filed a petition for review in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, which is the first step to launching their lawsuit, according to Schneiderman’s office.

“An open internet—and the free exchange of ideas it allows—is critical to our democratic process,” Schneiderman said in a press release. “The repeal of net neutrality would turn internet service providers into gatekeepers—allowing them to put profits over consumers while controlling what we see, what we do, and what we say online.”
