Iffy claims have come from the other side of the debate, too, such as the notion that federal regulators had never stepped in to make those providers change their service plans. Internet companies, consumer-advocacy groups and Democratic officials have generally been in favour of net-neutrality rules. FCC Chairman Ajit Pai says there’s no reason to worry about service providers blocking websites or charging extra for certain content. There are a few instances of broadband companies interfering with such services, which the FCC notes in its own proposal to undo the net-neutrality rules. Pai said that after repealing the net-neutrality rules, regulation of internet service and broadband privacy would shift from the FCC to another agency.
