The Senate today voted 52-47 to
disapprove the FCC’s recent order replacing 2015’s net neutrality rules, a
pleasant surprise for internet advocates and consumers throughout the country.
Although the disapproval will almost certainly not lead to the new rules being
undone, it is a powerful statement of solidarity with a constituency activated
against this deeply unpopular order.
To be clear, the FCC’s
“Restoring Internet Freedom” is still set to take
effect in June.
