2015 FCC Order

The 2015 FCC Order was a regulation that aimed to protect consumer privacy by requiring internet service providers (ISPs) to get customer consent before using or sharing personal data for marketing or other purposes. It also mandated ISPs to implement stronger security measures to safeguard user information. However, the order was challenged legally and ultimately blocked from taking effect by courts, leaving existing privacy rules in place. Essentially, it was a step toward giving internet users more control over their privacy and ensuring better data security, but it faced legal hurdles before becoming enforceable.
