Verizon v. FCC

Verizon v. FCC was a legal case where Verizon challenged the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) Open Internet Rule, which aimed to prevent internet service providers from unfairly favoring or blocking certain online content. Verizon argued that the FCC lacked authority to impose certain net neutrality regulations. The D.C. Circuit Court sided with Verizon, ruling that the FCC did not have clear authority under existing laws to enforce these rules. This decision significantly impacted net neutrality regulation, sparking ongoing debates about internet free speech and fair access.
