Digital discrimination of access: prohibition.

Abstract

Existing law prohibits fixed and mobile internet service providers, as defined, that provide broadband internet access service, as defined, from engaging in specified actions concerning the treatment of internet traffic. This bill would define "digital discrimination of access" as policies or practices not justified by a legitimate business impediment, including genuine issues of technical or economic feasibility, that differentially impact consumers' access to broadband internet access service based on their race, ethnicity, color, religion, or national origin, or that are intended to have a differential impact. The bill would prohibit entities that provide, facilitate, and affect consumer access to broadband internet access service, including internet service providers, from engaging in digital discrimination of access, as specified. The bill would authorize only the Attorney General to bring a civil action against those entities for violating that prohibition, as provided.
