CPC: Congress Should Immediately Nullify Attack on the Open Internet

December 14, 2017

Today, Congressional Progressive Caucus Co-Chairs Rep. Raúl M. Grijalva (D-AZ) and Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI) reacted to the Federal Communications Commission's reversal of the 2015 Open Internet Order, which enshrined the policy of "net neutrality" into law and prevented large corporate internet service providers from throttling internet speeds, favoring or blocking certain types of online content, or engaging in other types of anti-competitive behavior.

The CPC was one of the first voices to call for Title II reclassification and strong enforceable net neutrality protections in 2014.
