The US Federal Communications Commission asked the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in Ohio to transfer industry legal challenges to its decision to reinstate net neutrality rules to a federal court in Washington, arguing it would be more efficient. The court oversees the lawful contours of the rules, which were reinstated in April to ensure equal treatment of internet data by ISPs. Additionally, the FCC rejected industry requests, including AT&T and Comcast, to halt the order's effect in July, stating it could hinder national security objectives. President Biden reinstated net neutrality as a priority, reversing the Trump-era stance that claimed the rules hindered innovation and investments.
