Biden vs Bernie on Net Neutrality

Democrats once touted network neutrality as political dynamite, but now hardly any seem to realize their party’s presidential frontrunner has said nothing about it — now a key difference between former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen Bernie Sanders (I-VT) as they vie to secure the Democratic presidential nomination. Unlike Sen Sanders and virtually everyone else in 2020’s once-crowded Democratic field, Biden has not championed the Obama-era net neutrality regulations that President Donald Trump’s Federal Communications Commission repealed, and few Democrats — even his strongest supporters — seem aware or remotely concerned. Does that mean Biden can skate on net neutrality forever? Maybe not. “I think if he does diverge from it, there’ll be a price to pay,” said Benton Institute for Broadband & Society Senior Fellow Gigi Sohn.
