The SCOTUS ruling on Chevron poses a significant threat to internet freedom and digital rights for a few reasons:
1. The FCC's ability to classify broadband as a telecommunications service + enforce open internet rules could be challenged more easily by courts- a threat to Net Neutrality.
2. The FTC's authority to regulate privacy practices + combat unfair/deceptive acts by tech companies may be undermined.
3. Courts can now overrule agency interpretations more freely, potentially favoring corporate interests over public welfare.
4. The ruling creates uncertainty around existing and future internet regulations, as judges may substitute their own policy preferences for agency expertise.
5. With Congress struggling to pass comprehensive tech legislation, the loss of agency flexibility to address emerging digital issues could leave significant regulatory gaps.
