FCC chair Jessica Rosenworcel has announced the agency’s plans to restore net neutrality protections. Previous rules, which prevented ISPs from blocking or throttling specific websites, were nixed in 2017 under the Trump administration.

    It will need 60 senate voted to become law which will not likely happen given that the latest FCC nominee only got 55 votes which hints that if a net neutrality bill came to the floor, it will not reach 60 votes to invoke cloture to even advance the bill.

    50 senate votes is easier than 60 senate votes + 218 house votes

    Maybe if there are 50 senators who actually care about the people, they’d get rid of the filibuster already.

      This is an issue that many Republicans support. It’s a shame the Senators don’t.
