House of Representatives Passes Net Neutrality Protections

The Save the Internet Act could have had damaging or weakening amendments added to it on its way to today’s vote, but you spoke up and told your Representatives that you wanted real net neutrality and not net neutrality in name only. The last amendment to the bill (McAdams), affirms a bit from the old Open Internet Order, saying that the net neutrality prohibition on blocking doesn’t prevent ISPs from blocking “illegal” content, a distinction that includes copyrighted material. As the Save the Internet Act is debated in the Senate and comes up to a final vote, we’ll fight to keep net neutrality protections from having a copyright loophole.
