WASHINGTON (AFP) – The White House warned on Tuesday that President Barack Obama would veto a resolution introduced in the Senate that seeks to overturn “net neutrality” rules aimed at ensuring an open Internet.
The House of Representatives approved a Republican-backed resolution in April that seeks to block the rules approved in December of last year by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
The Senate is considering a similar resolution this week and the White House said Obama would use his veto power if it is passed and reaches his desk.
“The administration strongly opposes Senate passage of (the resolution), which would undermine a fundamental part of the nation’s Open Internet and innovation strategy,” the White House said in a statement.
