U.S. Federal Communications Commission chair Jessica Rosenworcel plans to begin an effort to reinstate landmark net neutrality rules rescinded under then-President Donald Trump, sources briefed on the matter said Monday.

The move comes after Democrats took majority control of the five-member FCC on Monday for the first time since President Joe Biden took office in January 2021 when new FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez was sworn in.

The FCC is set to take an initial vote on the net neutrality proposal in October, the sources added.

    Remember: elections have consequences.

    Also remember that — as much as disaffected and/or malicious actors (or Simpsons and South Park, for that matter) will claim otherwise — the two major political parties in the US are not the same.

        If it’s any consolation, I’m high and even I understood your sarcasm. Not sure how everyone else missed it.

        Lol, and who told you to think that? Fox “news”? Don’t waste your time trying to say some other bullshit either, we all know.
