The government's proposed internet rules would allow ISPs to block apps - read the full proposal here

The head of the FCC, Ajit Pai, released the final draft of a closely-watched plan on Wednesday to reverse a net neutrality policy enacted in 2015 which banned the blocking or slowing down of web content. 

Net neutrality is the concept that all internet traffic should be treated equally, no matter what internet service provider is carrying it.

Pai's order would reverse a 2015 ruling that classifies internet service providers as if they were utilities, which is opposed by ISPs but supported by net neutrality advocates, who say pro-net neutrality policies encourage innovation. 

The draft order will be voted on at the FCC's December 14th meeting.
