Summary
A US appeals court ruled that the FCC lacks authority to reinstate federal net neutrality rules, blocking Biden administration efforts to restore open internet protections.
The 2015 rules, repealed in 2017, mandated ISPs treat internet traffic equally and barred content blocking or prioritization.
The court cited a recent Supreme Court decision Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, limiting federal agency powers.
FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel urged Congress to pass federal net neutrality laws, while industry groups praised the decision, claiming it will boost innovation.
The ruling leaves state net neutrality laws, like California’s, intact.
Okay, “the court” instead of “the courts.” It still doesn’t fundamentally change what I’m saying here.
What your saying, no. Your basis for saying it? Absolutely. You have made zero arguments for this interpretation of the constitution beyond an appeal to the authority of “the courts”. When “the courts,” is actually"one court" that we all know is beyond corrupted by the corporations who benefit, your appeal to authority becomes meaningless.
How many times do I need to repeat this? I’m not making any arguments for or against any particular interpretation of the constitution. What I’m doing is pointing out that the various organs of the US government - Congress, regulatory bodies, courts - are interpreting it differently and as a result are performing in a dysfunctional manner.
I’ve made zero arguments because I’m not trying to make an argument. I’m describing what’s happening, not arguing about how it should be happening. You’re endlessly battering a strawman here.
