🇨🇭FCC votes to restore net neutrality

In a landmark decision, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has voted 3-2 to reinstate net neutrality rules, reversing the previous administration’s repeal. This pivotal move reclassifies internet service providers as common carriers, ensuring equal treatment of all internet traffic and barring the creation of paid “fast lanes.” The ruling is a significant step toward maintaining an open and fair internet, fostering innovation, and protecting consumer rights. ⚖️
