California governor signs nation's strictest net neutrality bill

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) on Sunday signed into law the country's strictest net neutrality bill, marking the state's latest rebellion against the Trump administration's agenda.

The legislation bars internet service providers from slowing down website speeds, blocking access to certain websites and charging extra for large sites like Netflix, according to The Sacramento Bee.

Sen. Scott Wiener (D-Calif.) called the bill a "true win for the internet and for an open society," the Bee reported.

California legislators wrote the bill last year after the Trump administration eliminated net neutrality rules.

Senior Justice Department officials told The Washington Post on Sunday they are planning to sue California over the legislation, claiming the federal government should maintain exclusive authority over net neutrality policies.

1. Brown is singing a lot of bills before he retires.

Guns/rifles with higher age requirement, women on the boards of directors, net neutrality, etc. I will miss him.

2. that's good but

I wish he would do away with the fracking that goes on here. I've signed petition after petition but he doesn't listen, he just goes right ahead with it.
