The initial and controversial move to end net neutrality during the Trump era was met with fierce backlash online, although many of the fears expressed by opponents never came to fruition.<\/p>\n<p>Net neutrality is the requirement that internet service providers do not discriminate based on the source or destination of data. It classifies providers as common carriers under Title 2 of the Communications Act, meaning they can be regulated more heavily, as if they were telecommunications providers.<\/p>\n<p>The push to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fcc-to-vote-on-reinstating-obama-era-net-neutrality-rules\/\" title=\"FCC to consider reinstating Obama-era net neutrality rules in upcoming vote\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-antitrust-executive-order-has-major-giveaway-for-tech-giants\/\" title=\"Biden Antitrust Executive Order Has Major Giveaway for Tech Giants\">restore net neutrality<\/a> began<\/a> last year when the commission voted to consider a proposed rule to reverse the 2017 vote ending it, which was spearheaded by then-FCC Chairman Ajit Pai.
