New rules go into effect in US, end Obama-era net neutrality
The US on Monday enforced 'Restoring Internet Freedom Order', replacing Obama-era 'net neutrality' rules, which had barred internet service providers from charging more for certain content to grant equal access to the internet. "The order replaces unnecessary, heavy-handed regulations dating back to 1934," the US said. The critics of the move have claimed it will make the internet less accessible.
