A state senator in California has introduced the most comprehensive set of net neutrality protections to date.

State Sen. Scott Wiener, a Democrat from San Francisco, on Tuesday introduced an amended piece of legislation that would codify into California state law Obama-era net neutrality rules adopted by the Federal Communications Commission in 2015. But it would also go further than the FCC's original rules by prohibiting wireless companies from offering sponsored content. The Republican-led FCC voted in December to roll back the 2015 rules, arguing such rules hurt investment and innovation in broadband networks.
