23 Attorneys General Refile Challenge To FCC Net Neutrality Repeal (engadget.com)

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Reuters: A coalition of 22 state attorneys general and the District of Columbia on Thursday refiled legal challenges intended to block the Trump administration's repeal of landmark rules designed to ensure a free and open internet from taking effect. The Federal Communications Commission officially published its order overturning the net neutrality rules in the Federal Register on Thursday, a procedural step that allows for the filing of legal challenges. The states, along with web browser developer Mozilla and video-sharing website Vimeo, had filed petitions preserving their right to sue in January, but agreed to withdraw them last Friday and wait for the FCC's publication. The attorneys general argue that the FCC cannot make "arbitrary and capricious" changes to existing policies and that it misinterpreted and disregarded "critical record evidence on industry practices and harm to consumers and businesses." The White House Office of Management and Budget still must sign off on some aspects of the FCC reversal before it takes legal effect. That could take months.

Re:Not enough actual crimes

I guess. Abuses of power? Nothing else going on? Gotta fight for the future crimes?

Come on, think about this.. It's an election year! I call it the political silly season. We are going to see all sorts of useless politically charged things said and done over the next few months. One has to make political hay as the opportunity presents itself and this NN issue plays well with specific groups.

So who are those groups being manipulated by this vain attempt to resurrect NN? Just look at which states are doing this and figure it out for yourself..
