Ep. 33: What’s Next For Net Neutrality And Internet Freedom?
Dec 18, 2017•35 min•Transcript available on Metacast Episode description
This week the Federal Communications Commission overturned Obama-era net neutrality rules mandating that internet service providers treat all online content equally, handing industry groups a win and offering ISPs leeway to try out “fast” and “slow” lanes for web traffic. Our senior telecom reporter Kelcee Griffis was in person for the vote and joins us from Washington to talk about what happens next. Also on this week’s show, we discuss sexual misconduct claims against a sitting Ninth Circuit judge, the White House giving up on winning Senate approval for two of President Trump’s more controversial judicial nominations, and how to block naughty lawsuits from nice holiday parties.
