The Federal Communications Commission is poised to ruin the free Internet on a technicality.
The group is expected to introduce new net neutrality laws that would allow companies to pay for better access to consumers through deals similar to the one struck by Netflix and Comcast earlier this year. The argument is that those deals don’t technically fall under the net neutrality umbrella, so these new rules won’t apply to them even though they directly affect the Internet.
At least the commission is being upfront about its disinterest in protecting the free Internet.
