    • Abstract:
      The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has voted to restore "net neutrality" rules that prevent broadband internet providers from favoring certain sites and apps over others. This decision reverses the repeal of these rules in 2017 under the Trump administration. The vote was split along party lines, with Democratic commissioners in favor and Republicans opposed. This development is expected to lead to a legal dispute between the U.S. and TikTok, which claims that the law violates the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. [Extracted from the article]
