When the Federal Communications Commission voted to essentially gut internet neutrality protections, Commissioner Mignon Clyburn did not hold back her outrage. The FCC, in her words, had “pulled its own teeth” in passing what she called the “consumer-harming, corporate-enabling Destroying Internet Freedom Order.”
Clyburn, along with fellow Democratic Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel, were the two dissenting votes in a 3-2 decision to roll back 2015 protections against blocked, throttled or prioritized internet access.
