The Frightening Stakes of this Halloween's Net Neutrality Hearing
Briefly

The future of the open internet is at risk as broadband companies seek to charge for 'premium' internet access, challenging net neutrality protections that ensure fair treatment of all internet data.
Despite the FCC’s previous suppression of net neutrality protections, public pressure led to their restoration, highlighting the ongoing struggle between telecom companies aiming to maximize profits and the public's interest for equitable internet access.
The Sixth Circuit is poised to hear the case regarding the FCC's net neutrality protections, with preliminary signs suggesting it may favor broadband companies, raising concerns for internet equity.
The change in Supreme Court composition since 2017 raises significant concern for advocates of net neutrality, as the new Court may lean favorably towards the interests of telecom companies in future rulings.
