An appellate court just struck down President Biden’s partisan plan to expand government control of the Internet through Title II “net neutrality” rules, citing Loper Bright.
While the work to unwind the Biden Admin’s regulatory overreach will continue, this is a good win. https://t.co/AWhuZecsnr

Today is a great day for American consumers and the rule of law. As I argued in my amicus brief in support of the petitioners, the FCC’s resurrection of so-called net neutrality was a regulatory power grab that violated the plain meaning of the Communications Act.

I applaud…
For a decade, I’ve argued that so-called “net neutrality” regulations are unlawful (not to mention pointless). Today, the Sixth Circuit held exactly that. You can read the court’s excellent opinion here: https://t.co/3za2KOk7ou

Breaking News: An appeals court struck down federal net neutrality rules, ending a nearly two-decade effort to regulate internet providers like utilities.

this trumplican ruling killing net neutrality doesn't just kill net neutrality, it delivers the final killing blow to any sort of coherent federal consumer broadband protection (corporate press outlets will skip over that last bit)

The Sixth Circuit just invalidated FCC's net neutrality rules, arguing that it was inconsistent with the "best reading" of the statute per Loper Bright. The court's dismissal of the FCC's reading of the statute as "not the best" is hilariously abstruse metaphysical BS:

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit struck down the FCC’s “net neutrality” rules governing internet service providers, in an early policy win for Republicans seeking to reverse Biden-era industry regulation.

The only people against net neutrality are corporate peepeeriders and literal r-slurs who are too stupid to use the internet anyway.

That's the reddit cope about net neutrality.
This is what's actually happening and redditors are okay with it.
It was also about the ISPs complaining that Netflix and other services were straining the ISP's networks while paying the same as everyone else for access to the network.

You mean their customers actually started using the ISP service they were paying for?
These frickers received billions from the government in taxpayer money to expand their network infrastructure and didn't do shit but pocket it.

Exactly. For the money we gave them every person in America should have a direct fiber link in the back of their skulls. I should be pooping on a potty made out of fiber optic cables. The only people against net neutrality are corpo butthole lickers and corporations themselves.

You're thinking about this from a residential customer standpoint, not a business to business one.

There is no business to business transaction occuring. They are middle men offering service to end customers who want to access all content on the internet.
Businesses already pay their own ISP as an end customer.

The Internet is a series of business-to-business transactions between ASes that create a network that appears flat to you. That doesn't mean that the network is actually flat.
Netflix is already entirely welcome to pay ISPs the same IP transit fees that everyone else is. They would rather prefer to use their immense amount of traffic to coerce ISPs into allowing them to colocate and send traffic for free (Netflix OpenConnect).
Regulatory agencies don't care about freedom of speech, and I wish you the best of luck trying to get the FCC to enforce your statutory right to slur everyone online. The last time I read Net Neutrality regulations, they were carefully written to only regulate end-user ISPs to provide large businesses cheap bandwidth, and not to help you host anything controversial.

Contracts between ISPs for traffic connections is normal business. Bilking end customers and refusing to deliver their traffic unless they pay you (A third party) is not.
So you can't actually read?

You have no right to a route through whatever AS you want to whatever other AS you want, except as contractually agreed between those ASes, even under the Net Neutrality rule, which specifically excluded "[applying] the open Internet rules to interconnection." It did, however, essentially oblige consumer ISPs to either peer with Netflix or eat the transit fees from whatever B2B ISP they deal with.
The cheaper your provider is, the more likely that you'll have to beg for routing. Cogent has no routes whatsoever to other destinations all the time due to their aggressive contract renegotiation tactics.
I know that reading is really hard, but the FCC stated that outright: "As in 2010, [Broadband Internet Access Service] does not include enterprise services, virtual private network services, hosting, or data storage services. Further, we decline to apply the open Internet rules to premises operators to the extent that they may be offering broadband Internet access services as we define it today."
I support telecoms and hosting providers being dumb pipes. I don't support Netflix subsidies. I don't really see what's hard to understand about this position, or why you believe the DNC suddenly acquired an unwavering interest in your right to call people BIPOCs online.

Oh you mean what was actually ended up being passed didn't actually go far enough. Agreed.
