After the FCC voted to repeal the net neutrality regulation on Thursday, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) characterized the decision as “disastrous” and stated that “everything we can” has to be done to defeat the repeal legislatively and in the courts.

Sanders said the repeal is “A disastrous decision. It will impact every American. It will give huge advantages to big corporations over small businesses, to big media companies over smaller media outlets.”

He added, “We’ve got to do everything we can to defeat this thing in the courts and defeat it legislatively.”
