Net Neutrality Repeal, FCC Vote, Internet Pioneers Letter
The FCC voted to overturn net neutrality rules, sparking a backlash from a group calling themselves "Internet Pioneers," including Vinton Cerf and Steve Wozniak. An open letter to Congress argued that the FCC lacks a technical understanding of the internet. The hosts argue that the rules were never fully implemented and that the "pioneers" are seeking government regulation to protect their own corporate interests.
