Rep. Marsha Blackburn Introduces the Open Internet Preservation Act

In response to the FCC repealing Title II regulation imposed on Internet service providers, yesterday, Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) posted a video on her Twitter account introducing the Open Internet Preservation Act. This bill would amend the Communications Act by adding bright-line net neutrality rules. The proposed legislation would make it unlawful for broadband Internet access service providers to “block lawful content” and “impair or degrade lawful internet traffic” subject to reasonable network management.
