Impact 7/10
The FCC's Restoring Internet Freedom Order, adopted December 14, 2017, repealed the 2015 net neutrality rules requiring internet service providers to treat all traffic equally, removing prohibitions on blocking, throttling, and paid prioritization. The Biden FCC voted to restore the rules in 2024, but the Sixth Circuit struck that restoration down in January 2025, leaving no federal net neutrality rules in effect.
