But this isn't the first time that the FCC has
May 25, 2019 by Elizabeth Duran 
But this isn't the first time that the FCC has cracked a law. In 2011, the agency cracked the "Internet Use Restriction Act" (I.R.A.) , which prevents internet providers from selling a service that is based on "net neutrality" principles. The law was written to allow internet providers to "protect and promote online privacy," which is what the FCC is doing today, according to an I.R.A. That law made it illegal to build a web service that was based on "net neutrality."
In addition to throttling, the FCC also prohibits ISPs from offering any services (including video streaming) that do not use the internet as a standard. In other words, not only is it illegal, but it also violates the public interest. This law has been passed and the FCC is still working on it . It's certainly not the first time that the FCC has cracked a law, but it is the third time that the agency has cracked a law, and it's the first time that the FCC has cracked a law.
To hear the full story here: https://thewireless.com/news/internet/2017/06/24/fast-net-neutrality-regulatory-rules-violate-us/ This is the first time that the FCC has cracked a law, but it is the first time that the agency has cracked a law.
UPDATE: The FCC has now approved a rule, called the "Protecting Personal Information Act," which prohibits ISPs and their customers from blocking or throttling an Internet service (e.g., Skype). The law is a response to an attack by the EFF that made a number of changes to how the public is able to feel safe online. The EFF argues that the changes to blocking and throttling have allowed government agencies to target their users and threaten to shut down an ISP or web service that would not comply with their rules. This is a major victory for privacy advocates. The EFF also filed a lawsuit on behalf of US citizens on behalf of Internet users, the American Civil Liberties Union, and the ACLU of America. The EFF called the rule a "major victory for internet freedom."
