US Department of Justice takes California to court after governor signs net neutrality into law

2018-10-01 09:04:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) The US Justice Department has taken legal action against California after the state's governor Jerry Brown signed into law the net neutrality legislation passed earlier by state lawmakers, a filing at the Justice Department shows. The news was first reported by the Washington Post. The California law, which is expected to go into effect on 1 January,  aims to stop internet providers from blocking or throttling legal apps and websites, and prohibits the prioritisation of content. It also bans zero-rating for specific apps in a point going further than the nation's 2015 net neutrality laws, since revoked by the FCC in 2017.
