The FCC has announced that it will vote on a proposal to restore net neutrality on April 25, a move that, if approved, it says will "bring back a national standard for broadband reliability, security, and consumer protection."
Back in 2017, we explained why net neutrality matters—and why we think PC gamers should support it—and the basic facts remain the same today. Simply put, net neutrality requires that all data is treated equally, and forbids ISPs from throttling speeds or blocking access to content based on the nature of the content being delivered. It was enshrined into US law by the Obama administration in 2015 under the Open Internet Order, but then dismantled just a couple years later by the Trump administration.
