Net Neutrality bill introduced in State Legislature

“Assemblyman Mark Leno (D-San Francisco) announced today he will introduce ‘Net Neutrality’ legislation that will preserve the free and open Internet by allowing all users to access the content of their choice. ‘The Internet has provided a forum for free speech and open communication, giving a voice for everyone from the largest business with the most expensive website to the individual with a one-person operation,” said Assemblyman Mark Leno (D-San Francisco). ‘We can’t allow those who want to serve as our Internet gatekeepers to discriminate against content and decide for us what we can and cannot view’. The legislation will… prevent companies that control the internet’s infrastructure from discriminating against content based on its source or ownership. “
