A government commission has voted to end the internet policy known as net neutrality. The Federal Communications Commission is a government agency responsible for regulating the internet in the United States. Its members voted to end net neutrality by a vote of 3 to 2. Net neutrality is the idea that internet service providers should treat all traffic over the internet equally. In 2015, the FCC set the rule to prevent internet service providers from interfering with traffic from some websites while providing faster service to others.
