More than 30 organizations that advocate for press freedom, journalism, free expression and open government signed this letter in opposition to FCC Chairman Ajit Pai’s planned repeal of open-internet rules. These rules, issued in 2015, were a tremendous victory for free speech and freedom of the press. Repealing them would give broadband providers tremendous power and have a chilling effect on people’s rights and ability to access, report, and share information free of gatekeeper control.
