Title II Is the Best Way to Protect the Internet. Period.

People actually need Title II and all of the protections it provides for internet users. Here’s why.

• Title II is the right law: Congress designed this part of the Communications Act for “telecommunications services,” which is the proper framework and definition for broadband from both a legal standpoint and an engineering standpoint.
• Real net neutrality means no loopholes: Under Title II, the Federal Communications Commission had the power to investigate suspicious new practices and gray areas in order to decide whether they presented threats to the open internet. Without giving the FCC the flexibility to evaluate the situation, make new rules and respond to changing circumstances, fake net neutrality bills amount to throwing one stone in a river and calling it a dam.
