States’ rights are back in vogue. After the Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC) vote to repeal net neutrality last December, Republicans, and Democrats across the US are looking at executive orders and bills that limit ISPs ability to flout net neutrality principles. A consortium of public interest groups including Free Press report that at least 14 states have signed or introduced orders and bills seeking to enforce net neutrality, while seven states are considering them.

Net neutrality has awakened a vociferous opposition. On Dec. 14, the FCC voted to repeal the Open Internet Order along party lines. The vote handed FCC chairman Ajit Pai a major victory allowing US telecoms to block, slow, or charge more for certain content.
