The Center for Internet and Society at Stanford Law School is a leader in the study of the law and policy around the Internet and other emerging technologies.
Architecture and Public Policy
CIS explores how changes in the architecture of computer networks affect the economic environment for innovation and competition on the Internet, and how the law should react to those changes. This work has lead us to analyze the issue of network neutrality, perhaps the Internet's most debated policy issue, which concerns Internet user's ability to access the content and software of their choice without interference from network providers.

When the FCC announced it would be restoring the net neutrality protections that the FCC eliminated in 2017, the agency said it wanted to restore the 2015 net neutrality protections.I strongly support this goal, and the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking includes many of the protections included in the 2015 Open Internet Order.But the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking misses some critical protections in the 2015 Order, creating potential loopholes for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to exploit.
