Hi again Female Muscle Fans. The fight for protecting our Internet as we know it is far from over. The movement is keep advancing with new information that we will bring to you in order to know about this subject.
In the last time, the section 230 was under attack in Trump administration times, but now things have changed after the electoral process in 2020. Now Biden administration is interested in restoring the law in which Net Neutrality can be granted. Joe Biden signed an executive order in economic subject in which Net Neutrality can be strengthened. This executive order will restore the set rules in Obama administration and they would bring other new chapters for a better regulatory system, according with the Verge site. In 2017, the FCC approved a set of measures that eliminated the provisions created during the Barack Obama administration and allowed Internet Access Providers (MYP) to violate the principle that all data should be treated in the same way. The main hole of the regulation proposed by Pai was that it only required the MYPs to commit themselves not to block or discriminate on the Internet, but it did not prohibit them to degrade, block or prioritize services, pages and applications in exchange for payment.
The disappearance of the Open Internet Order caused a strong reaction by users, organizations defending human rights in the digital environment, including technology companies.
“The Order of 2015 created a clear line, protections applicable to network neutrality that guarantee consumers access to a complete Internet and preservation of online competition. This proposal (Pai) fails to achieve any of these goals. Consumers have few choices with their ISP and providers should not be able to use their position as cadens at the start of the connection to discriminate sites and apps,” the Internet Association said to The Business Insider.
In addition to restoring Title II, the Executive Order sets out measures for major telecommunications companies, such as prohibiting “unfair or unreasonable surcharges” for early cancellation of communications contracts; creating labelling for consumers of broadband services and forcing MPs to report prices and subscription rates to the FCC, among others. Recently, the Biden government named Tim Wu, who coined the term “network neutrality”, as a member of the Economic Advisory Council, and therefore expected actions to restore network neutrality and end Trump’s policy during his government.
That's all the information we have so far. Any new data we have, we will let you know about it with all the profesionalism and seriousness required. We hope you have analyzed all the importance of this subject as Internet users we are. See you next time Female Muscle Fans.
