The Department of Justice said it is filing a lawsuit against the state of California over its new net neutrality protections, hours after Gov. The California law would be the strictest net neutrality protections in the country, and could serve as a blueprint for other states. The FCC is fighting California over a pre-exemption clause included in its 2017 order repealing net neutrality protections. Legal experts are split over whether or not the FCC can challenge a state net neutrality law, but Wiener believes the clause is unenforceable. "Most people don't understand how hard it is to do a solid net neutrality law," said van Schewick.
