U.S. Federal Communications Commission chair Jessica Rosenworcel plans to begin an effort to reinstate landmark net neutrality rules rescinded under then-President Donald Trump, sources briefed on the matter said Monday.

The move comes after Democrats took majority control of the five-member FCC on Monday for the first time since President Joe Biden took office in January 2021 when new FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez was sworn in.

The FCC is set to take an initial vote on the net neutrality proposal in October, the sources added.

    Yeah, I am.

    Something about not being a tool seems to resonate with people.

      Well from where I’m standing, it seems you actually would be a useful object to have on hand while addressing various household repair tasks.

      You need to keep working on the "not being a tool" part, you haven't quite mastered that yet.

        I mean, you're just saying that because I'm critical of something you like.

        That's okay, I don't expect more.
