Quick Glance: FCC Votes to Restore Net Neutrality Rules

The FCC voted 3-2 along political party lines to reinstate rules from 2017 to prevent internet service providers from disrupting your internet speed.

Restoring net neutrality has been a focus for President Joe Biden and was approved by a majority of the FCC.

Net neutrality protects consumers from ISP control, promotes fair rules, and safeguards against online fraud and scams.

The discussion on net neutrality also raises questions about service pricing and highlights the importance for internet infrastructure.

aljazeera.com/news/2024/4/11/trudeau-says-china-tried-to-meddle-in-canada-elections

Quick Glance: Alleged Chinese Interference in Canadian Elections: Trudeau Confirms Independence

Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reported to an official inquiry that China attempted to intervene in the last two Canadian elections, but the outcomes were unaffected, and it was deemed 'improbable' that Beijing favored a specific party.

Under pressure from opposition lawmakers dissatisfied with media reports on China's potential involvement in the elections, Trudeau established the commission.

Erin O'Toole, who led the main opposition Conservative party during the 2021 campaign, estimated that Chinese interventions may have cost his party up to nine seats but did not alter the election's course. Trudeau's Liberal Party emerged victorious in both instances.

Canada's domestic intelligence agency informed the commission of China's 'clandestine and deceptive' interference in both elections, marking the most substantial evidence thus far of suspected Chinese meddling in Canadian politics.

Quick Glance: US implements ban on worker 'competition agreements' with business groups filing lawsuits

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has approved a framework to eliminate agreements often signed by employees to refrain from joining their employers' competitors or establishing rival businesses.

The ban on noncompete agreements is projected to boost worker earnings by up to $488 billion over the next decade and facilitate the establishment of over 8,500 new businesses annually.

Prominent business associations have criticized the framework and declared legal actions, contending that noncompete agreements assist companies in safeguarding trade secrets and advancing competitiveness.

Unions have endorsed the FTC's vote in favor of the ban, hailing it as a significant triumph for workers that will enhance the national economy by fostering entrepreneurship.
