The idea of net neutrality is that all data flowing through it should be treated equally as all other data; in other words, your ISP shouldn’t be able to throttle Netflix traffic to your smart TV because Netflix didn’t pay your ISP an additional fee. In 2017, the FCC repealed that idea in the ironically named “Restoring Internet Freedom” initiative.

Behind the scenes: The FCC was subsequently unsuccessfully sued by Mozilla, but the lawsuit resulted in a court order seeking public comment on the repeal. According to The Register, the FCC buried the current request for public comment on its announcement site, titled "WCB Seeks Comment on Discrete Issues Arising from Mozilla Decision."

Yes, but… While the FCC doesn't want to make it easy for the public to complain about this misguided ruling, some within the agency are on the right side of history. FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel issued a press release with a much more direct title: "Rosenworcel on FCC Seeking Public Comment on Net Neutrality Reinstatement."

What she said: Rosenworcel argues, "The FCC was wrong when it repealed net neutrality. The decision put the agency on the wrong side of history, the American public, and the law. And the courts agreed. That's why they've sent back to this agency key documents on how the rollback of net neutrality protections affected public safety, low-income Americans, and broadband infrastructure."
