In less than a week, the Federal Communications Commission will vote on its controversial plan to repeal net neutrality, an Obama-era regulation that requires internet service providers to treat all content equally without blocking or slowing down access to specific sites.

Tech companies such as Facebook and Netflix spoke out last month when the FCC announced it would move to reverse the 2015 Open Internet Order, expressing disappointment and concern.

On Nov. 21, CEO Michael Beckerman of the lobbying group the Internet Association, which counts some of the biggest tech companies as members, issued a statement saying the group “will continue our work to ensure net neutrality protections remain the law of the land,” but did not clarify how it would do so.
