Brenda Lawrence (MI-14) today released the following statement on the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) 3-2 vote to repeal net neutrality consumer protections: “I am outraged that the Federal Communications Commission voted to repeal important net neutrality protections, which were meant to ensure the internet belongs to everyone. This move will hurt everyday internet users and small businesses in Michigan and across our nation. It limits internet freedom and fair competition by allowing a small group of companies to block some websites, slow content for business reasons, even when it hurts our equal right to access the internet.” “The FCC went ahead with this vote despite overwhelming public opposition and did not fully consider millions of public comments. I joined hundreds of my colleagues in asking the FCC to stop this vote. Now, I will continue to fight for an open internet and support efforts to restore net neutrality.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
