Rep. Walz Lauds Net Neutrality Ruling, Pledges to Continue Fighting to Keep Internet Free and Open for All

Statement

Today, U.S. Rep. Tim Walz, a longtime supporter of keeping the internet free and open, lauded the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ruling today that will create strong net neutrality rules to ensure access to the internet remains free and open as it is today.

"A free and open internet is important in a free and open society, and that's exactly what strong net neutrality rules will continue to ensure we enjoy here in America," said Rep. Walz, a longtime supporter of net neutrality. "This ruling by the FCC will ensure that you, the consumer, can determine what websites you have access to. It will prevent large corporations from becoming internet gatekeepers and slowing down access. And it will continue to foster competition, innovation, and growth in our economy. I applaud today's ruling by the FCC and pledge to continue fighting to keep the internet free and open for all."
