Trade groups claimed the state law is preempted by former Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai's repeal of net neutrality rules. Pai's repeal placed ISPs under the more forgiving Title I regulatory framework instead of the common-carrier framework in Title II of the Communications Act. 2nd Circuit judges did not find this argument convincing:

Second, the ABA is not conflict-preempted by the Federal Communications Commission's 2018 order classifying broadband as an information service. That order stripped the agency of its authority to regulate the rates charged for broadband Internet, and a federal agency cannot exclude states from regulating in an area where the agency itself lacks regulatory authority. Accordingly, we REVERSE the judgment of the district court and VACATE the permanent injunction.

Leopards ate my face but even though corporations are people they can not have their faces eaten in quite the same way

There's still a very stacked and extremely corrupt scotus.

You thinkk we would be as happy as some of these social democrat countries in Northern Europe these damn republicans seems to like

Happier in general, healthier, threat of extinction farther away. The greedy wouldn't be happier, and it would require a better educated, more vigilant populace without the illusion they too, could some day become part of the leopard class. We'd need better auditing of books, public and private. Fines that were actually punitive, with the certainty of incarceration (more humanely), as well as public record of wrong and correcting measures, and certain nationalization of businesses caught in malfeasance a second time. I think essential goods and services should be nationalized anyway, but that's an unpopular opinion on my instance.
