Not sure there’s a ton of hope here. The rule being rolled back was simply an executive action, not a law. This is why we need our legislatures to get to work providing _laws_ that protect our privacy and not leave us at the whim of the executive office.

Federal agencies can't just reverse existing rules by fiat, though. They have to provide an explanation for changing conditions based on real hard data, which has to stand up in court.

I found this article to have a good explanation of how difficult it may be to push through these changes without a legal defeat: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/22/opinion/courts-net-neutra...

Which legislature would that be?

My preference is all of them: municipal, state, and federal.

I believe there was a directive included that states and municipalities can't implement their own net neutrality laws :/
