22 attorneys general file legal challenge against net neutrality rollback

Attorneys general from 21 states and Washington, D.C., on Tuesday filed a legal challenge against the Federal Communications Commission’s effort to repeal net neutrality regulations.

The petition has been brought before the US Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit and is being spearheaded by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. The petitioners allege the Republican-led agency’s rollback of the Obama-era Internet regulations are “arbitrary, capricious, and an abuse of discretion.”
