Net neutrality vote's major players

Net neutrality rules created by President Obama's administration meant internet service providers were required to treat all online content the same — not being able to deliberately speed up or slow down traffic from specific websites and apps. A vote happening Dec. 14, 2017 was expected to repeal the net neutrality rules. These photos show the major players in the net neutrality issue.

Net neutrality vote's major players Net Neutrality allows Americans to have free and open access to the internet without being blocked or slowed by service providers. While popular with many Americans, 2015 net neutrality rules have been opposed by some Republican lawmakers and large internet providers who say net neutrality is an obstacle to innovation. The repeal of net neutrality rules by the Federal Communications Commission could affect the speed and price of internet connection for many Americans. Photo by: Michael Bocchieri Net neutrality vote's major players Craig Aaron is the executive director of Free Press, an advocacy group fighting for net neutrality rules. He said rolling back protections will have significant repercussions. Aaron told Scripps News, “We think what Chairman Pai is proposing is a fundamental existential threat to the Internet," he said. “Essentially these rules preserve that free and open internet we've always had, where you go online and you're in control." Photo by: Scripps News
