Will the decision to block net neutrality rules in the US constrict digital advertising?

A federal appeals court concluded that the FCC lacks authority to enforce net neutrality rules enacted during the Biden administration, marking a significant legal shift.

While recognizing the FCC's expertise, the Sixth Circuit Court determined that the agency's reasoning for treating ISPs like telecommunications providers was inconsistent with the Communications Act of 1934.

The judges noted that the repeal of the Chevron doctrine allowed them to overrule the FCC's earlier decisions, further complicating the enforcement of net neutrality.

As a consequence of the ruling, leaders in the digital space are worried about the potential negative impacts on fairness and competition in internet access.
