A federal judge this week ruled that California
can for the first time enforce its tough net
neutrality law, clearing the way for the state to
ban internet providers from slowing down or
blocking access to websites and applications
that don’t pay for premium service.
Former Gov. Jerry Brown signed the bill in 2018,
making California the first state to pass a net
neutrality law. Open internet advocates hoped
the law would spur Congress and other states
to follow suit. The Trump administration quickly
sued to block the law, which prevented it from
taking effect for years while the case was tied up
in court.FEDERAL JUDGE SAYS CALIFORNIA CAN ENFORCE NET NEUTRALITY LAW
