A resolution that would roll back net neutrality regulations has picked up the support of fifty US Senators, but may not get much further.
The democratic backed effort would reset net neutrality rules to those in effect under the Obama Administration.
South Dakota Senator John Thune doesn’t think it will go too far……

Thune says the best solution for internet protection is through laws, not rules…..

Thune says internet control will be up for grabs for quite a while…..

Critics of the new rules are concerned that bigger internet providers could control speeds and access to websites.
