The final call is here. The results of the elections conducted for the killing of net neutrality have been announced on 14th Dec 2017. As expected the results are considered to be undemocratic and entirely in the favor of Ajit Pai.
The US communications regulator has voted to weaken the rules that strengthen net neutrality. In other words, net neutrality has been killed!
The Federal Communication Commission (FCC) has voted three to two to change the rules of net neutrality made in Obama’s era, 2015. And now Internet Service Providers (ISP) has the authority to control all internet activities, allowing them full control over websites, servers, and speeds depending on the amount of money being paid by a particular website. Now they can “OFFICIALLY” speed up or slow down the internet providing their justifications based on a set of “NEW RULES”.
Also, Thursday’s proceedings in Washington were halted for about 15 minutes after a security alert forced an evacuation of the FCC’S chamber and happened at the time when Ajit Pai was speaking.
