E-commer­ce site Etsy said that it would separa­tely also join the legal effort­The Internet Association, a trade group representing companies such as Google parent Alphabet and Facebook said on Friday that it intends to join an expected lawsuit against a decision to roll back net neutrality rules. One of the group’s members, e-commerce site Etsy said that it would separately also join the legal effort. “The final version of Chairman Pai’s rule, as expected, dismantles popular net neutrality protections for consumers. This rule defies the will of a bipartisan majority of Americans and fails to preserve a free and open internet,” the Internet Association said in a statement. The new rules give internet service providers sweeping powers to change how consumers access the internet but must have new transparency requirements that will require them to disclose any changes to consumers.
