Restore Internet Freedom Order

The Restore Internet Freedom Order was a decision made by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 2017 to roll back net neutrality protections established in 2015. It aimed to reduce regulations on internet service providers, allowing them more control over how they manage traffic and services. Proponents argued it would encourage investment and innovation, while opponents feared it could lead to less equal access and potential prioritization of certain content. Overall, it marked a shift towards a less regulated internet environment, emphasizing free market principles over government oversight.
