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Commission chair Jessica Rosenworcel plans to begin an effort to reinstate landmark net neutrality rules rescinded under then-President Donald Trump, sources briefed on the matter said Monday.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

    Within a short time after Ajit Pai was appointed to the FCC chair, there was an article at Ars Technica about net neutrality being rescinded. The article also detailed the many votes against consumers on Pai’s record. I sent a link to my mother, who voted for Trump, telling her that this was partially her fault and that it affected everyone, not just her.

    We have a “no politics” rule, now, instituted by me. Our relationship couldn’t survive otherwise. Just tell me about the grandkids, your pets, the weather. Never tell me how you voted to fuck up the world.
