WASHINGTON 鈥 The Federal Communications Commission voted today to implement Chairman Ajit Pai鈥檚 plan to end net neutrality.

Net neutrality prevents internet service providers from prioritizing data for businesses and other organizations that they favor or that pay more. The rules keep the internet open, free, and unrestricted, preventing ISPs from becoming gatekeepers that can control and manipulate what people access on the internet.

Jay Stanley, 老澳门开奖结果 senior policy analyst, said:

鈥淪ince the end of the dial-up era, the FCC has enforced network neutrality principles and helped create the internet as we know it. Today鈥檚 misguided FCC action represents a radical departure that risks erosion of the biggest free speech platform the world has ever known.

鈥淭oday鈥檚 loss means that telecommunications companies will start intruding more on how people use the internet. Internet service providers will become much more aggressive in their efforts to make money off their role as online gatekeepers.

鈥淏ut the fight for network neutrality is not over by any means. The 老澳门开奖结果 and our allies will be fighting back in every possible arena to restore these crucial protections.鈥
