CYBERSLEUTH
Last week the Federal Communications Commission did an about-face of its previous about-face when it told the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit that the agency lacks legal authority to impose net neutrality rules. The FCC's argument was put forth in a brief defending against a lawsuit challenging the so-called Restoring Internet Freedom Order that repealed the FCC's net neutrality rules.
