How long is the newly introduced act to save net neutrality?

Answer: Just two pages.

The new federal Save the Internet Act, announced Wednesday morning, is short and to the point, restoring the 2015 rules governing Internet regulation in just two pages. Those rules, which were undone by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in late 2017, prevented Internet service providers from selectively blocking, speeding up or slowing down Web content.

This is just the latest of many moves in the battle over net neutrality since the FCC made its changes in 2017. Multiple lawsuits have been filed, including one against the FCC that began hearings in early February. Additionally, a number of states have considered, introduced and/or passed legislation or executive orders maintaining net neutrality rules within their borders.
