Suit to block California's net neutrality law could be overshadowed by broader challenge in DC Circuit
When the Trump administration decided to dump net neutrality rules designed to treat all data equally, the states revolted. Thirty legislatures introduced bills to prohibit internet service providers from hindering access to certain sites and charging fees for faster speeds. Four states, including California, passed laws, and six governors issued executive orders declaring they would not do business with internet providers that violated net neutrality. The Trump administration decided to fight back and challenge California’s law, the broadest in the nation.
