A federal appeals court ruled that the Biden administration's restoration of net neutrality rules exceeded the Federal Communications Commission's authority. The court stated that the FCC's order resurrected a heavy-handed regulatory regime and lacked the statutory basis to implement the policies. This decision reverses a trend of increased FCC oversight under previous administrations.
A federal appeals court on Thursday ruled that US regulators overstepped their authority by reinstating ' net neutrality ' rules governing internet service providers, dealing a blow to the Biden administration. In a published opinion, the appellate court in the state of Ohio said an order last year by the Federal Communications Commission 'resurrected the FCC's heavy-handed regulatory regime.
Net neutrality advocates argue that internet service is a vital utility in modern life and that companies providing it should be regulated to stop abuses such as giving speed advantages to those who pay more. Net Neutrality rules prohibit internet service providers from blocking, slowing down, or charging extra for the internet content and applications their broadband customers choose, according to internet rights group Free Press.
