Problem is: if New Mexico passes a Net Neutrality law but all of the Netflix data centers are in Arizona it's suddenly going to be "interstate commerce"

- ashelmire 8y agoSomething being interstate commerce does not prevent states from legislating on it. Under that logic, states couldn't regulate the sale of anything produced in another state, which is obviously untrue.
- Avshalom 8y agono it just means that the federal government has constitutional power to over rule it if they feel like it, no need to argue on the basis of any existing case law.
- blind_boy_grunt 8y agoYes, and congress could pass a law banning net neutrality. But under current law, the FCC is not able to issue a directive doing the same thing. A law banning NN will never get passed due to gridlock (thankfully), so barring some huge change in public opinion I don't see states being prohibited from enforcing NN.
