Democrats Will Introduce Bill To Bring Back Net Neutrality

An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Hill: Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced Monday that Democrats will introduce a net neutrality bill to replace the open internet rules that were repealed in 2017.

The 2015 regulations prohibited internet service providers from blocking or throttling websites or creating internet fast lanes.
