Open internet regulations whose repeal became a cause celebre of sorts among “Resistance” types during the Trump presidency are going back on the books.

With backing from the Biden administration, the Federal Communications Commission voted 3-2 on April 25 to reinstitute updated net neutrality regulations. The rules prohibit broadband providers from blocking or slowing down services like Google and Netflix on their networks. Critics say the rules will be too much of a burden on broadband providers and anyway are unnecessary since there’s no record of telecommunications companies slowing down, or “throttling,” specific sites.
