California will not enforce the Network Neutrality Act
California law put the state in violation of federal government. The Federal Communications Commission voted to reverse the Obama era's neutrality protection last December. Ajit Pai, the FCC leader appointed by President Donald Trump, set aside the abolition as a way to stop the federal government from "micromanaging the internet."
Mozilla, an ideal dedicated to ensuring "free and open internet" filed a lawsuit claiming the FCC's decision to violate network neutrality "violates federal law and harmed Internet users and innovators."
California then adopted its own net neutrality act on 30 September, which would come into force in January. The state bill prohibits Internet service providers from blocking, reducing or increasing the speed of content from specific websites or apps.
And in a court document filed Friday, a judge revealed that California has agreed to abide by enforcing its law until the Mozilla case is settled.
California lawyer Xavier Becerra has long promised to protect network neutrality laws in his state.
