A federal appeals court has struck down the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) net neutrality rules, marking a pivotal moment for technology and administrative law. The Sixth Circuit Court's decision has been interpreted as a victory for the tech industry, as it found that Congress has not granted the FCC the authority to regulate broadband networks. This ruling follows a broader trend of legal challenges against the FCC's regulatory powers. Experts, including Barbara van Schewick from Stanford Law, have discussed the implications of this ruling, suggesting it may reshape future regulatory frameworks. The FCC is also currently seeking to overturn a separate Fifth Circuit decision that affected its multibillion-dollar subsidy fund, arguing that the court misinterpreted Congress's taxing powers.
The FCC urged the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn last year's Fifth Circuit decision gutting its multibillion-dollar subsidy fund, arguing the appeals court got it wrong in finding Congress unlawfully relinquished its taxing powers. https://t.co/kwu3XYJ6Ov https://t.co/sd7alTT64Y
