The FCC has just voted 3-2 to repeal its net neutrality rules that were originally put into place by Barack Obama‘s administration.
According to the New York Times, “Internet providers will have more power over the web, allowing them to favor certain sites. The federal government will also no longer regulate high-speed internet delivery as if it were a utility, like phone services.”
In layman’s terms, it means that companies can not block websites or offer certain companies faster loading speeds for money.
