      'Pressure Reaching Boiling Point' as Congress Has Just 24 Hours to Save Net Neutrality

      With only one day left for Congress to save national net neutrality rules rolled back by the GOP-controlled Federal Communications Commission (FCC) last year, internet defenders have set their sights on the 36 signatures still needed to reverse the repeal.

      The vast majority of the American public supports federal net neutrality rules, which bar internet service providers (ISPs) from prioritizing or throttling access to certain online content. However, most Republicans and a handful of telecom-backed Democrats in the U.S. House are blocking a vote on a Senate-approvedCongressional Review Act (CRA) resolution to restore the repealed Obama-era regulations.

      “Pressure is reaching a boiling point as internet users continue sounding the alarm ahead of the deadline for members of Congress to show they support real net neutrality protections by signing on to the discharge petition for the CRA resolution to reverse the FCC’s repeal,” Fight for the Future said in a statement.

      They will fail. None of those Vichy Dems will betray their corporate donors.

      Especially Cuellar and Sinema.

      where our government enacted Net Neutrality for our state.

      Has Net Neutrality already affected other states?
