The first lawsuit to save net neutrality was announced minutes after the FCC voted to repeal it
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has repealed net neutrality, after a vote that split along party lines. Already, multiple state attorneys general have announced they will sue to save it.
Minutes after the FCC vote, New York attorney general Eric Schneiderman announced his intent to lead a multi-state lawsuit to stop illegal rollback of net neutrality.
The FCCs vote to rip apart net neutrality is a blow to New York consumers, and to everyone who cares about a free and open internet, Schneiderman said in a statement. The FCC just gave Big Telecom an early Christmas present, by giving internet service providers yet another way to put corporate profits over consumers. Todays rollback will give ISPs new ways to control what we see, what we do, and what we say online.
