A group of 23 Attorneys General of the respective US states have filed a case to the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit, to vacate and reverse the FCC’s “Restoring Internet Freedom” order, which repealed net neutrality regulations in June 2018. In a statement, the Attorney General for the New York State explained that the government petitioners’ brief focuses on two critical issues: first, the FCC’s order is believed to be “arbitrary” and to put consumers at risk of abusive practices by broadband providers; and second, the FCC’s order is seen as unlawfully purporting to preempt state and local regulation of broadband service.
