United States Senate forces potential vote to bring back Net Neutrality
Last year, the United States faced the repeal of Net Neutrality, causing an uproar across the internet. The FCC voted in favor of repealing the 2015 law, leaving a large amount of disappointed Americans in its wake. Now, 6 months after the fact, the United States Senate has forced a vote, getting a minimum of 30 required senators in an attempt to bring back Net Neutrality. Once the vote occurs, they'll need a further majority of over 50 to vote in their favor, with around 50 exactly on bill's side, and while it's uncertain how things will play out when they do take it to a vote, even if they do pass the revival of Net Neutrality in the Senate, they still need to pass it in the House as well, which has a majority that does not favor bringing it back.
The vote will take place most likely by next week, and at maximum, must be done by June 12. A large amount of social media sites have come out in support of the Senate's attempt, but those against Net Neutrality claim that regaining government interference with the internet is wrong, and will set standards back.
What do you think? Do you support bringing back Net Neutrality? Or has it become a non-issue since the drama revolving around it has died down in recent months.
