Abstract

The recent decision by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to restore net neutrality has reignited the debate on the topic. Led by President Biden's commitment to protecting the Open Internet, the FCC has reclassified broadband services as common carriers under Title II of the Telecommunications Act, ensuring that ISPs are prohibited from blocking, throttling, or engaging in paid prioritization of lawful content. Net neutrality, which seeks to prevent blocking and filtering of lawful content and services, has been a topic of discussion in various countries, including India, where the principles were adopted in 2018. However, concerns remain about internet shutdowns and content blockings in India. [Extracted from the article]
