Biggest names in net neutrality join fight to save California law

More than two dozen advocacy groups have filed briefs with a federal court supporting California’s net neutrality law as it faces an attempt to block it by the Department of Justice. The groups filed two separate amicus curiae, or friend of the court briefs, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. The briefs were put together by some of the biggest groups who advocate for net neutrality. One filing is signed on by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), the ACLU of Northern California, Fight for the Future, Media Justice, the National Hispanic Media Coalition, and Reddit [and the Benton Institute for Broadband & Society, if you're scoring at home]. The other brief is headlined by Mozilla, Public Knowledge, and Free Press. The two briefs argue in favor of California’s law and urge the court to deny the request for an injunction from the Justice Department.
