2014 law
The 2014 law in the U.S. related to net neutrality aimed to regulate internet service providers, ensuring they treat all online data equally. It classified broadband internet as a telecommunications service, preventing companies from prioritizing certain content or charging extra for faster access. The law intended to protect consumer access to a free and open internet, promoting competition and innovation. However, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) later repealed parts of this regulation in 2017, leading to ongoing debates about internet fairness and regulation.
