Stage 5:US Government Agency Ends ‘Net Neutrality’ Rule

The article titled, "US Government Agency Ends 'Net Neutrality' Rule" written by Hai Do ad Mario Ritter explains and defines Net Neutrality and what this decision means and how it effects the lives of the average American. Established in the "Obama Era" Net Neutrality is the idea that all "internet service providers should treat all traffic over the internet equally". Meaning that internet service users were not shown any bias or favoritism on sites and could access all sites equally and freely. In a 3-2 vote in the FCC, these rules were ended, meaning that service providers can now charge for us to see the content we would want to see, or make competing sites harder or slower to reach. Some even fear that this decision could ultimately lead to few agencies and companies overpowering the competition and controlling what we can access and see on the web.
