NEW YORK (AP) — The Latest on the FCC's vote on eliminating net-neutrality protections for the internet (all times local): - 1:40 p.m. - Critics are questioning how the Federal Communications Commission considered its repeal of net-neutrality rules, asking if it abided by its legal obligation to review and consider the public's comments. The Obama-era rules aimed to guarantee equal access to the internet, curbing the power of internet providers to control where people go and what they do online. Sean Moulton, open government program manager for the Washington-based nonprofit Project on Government Oversight, says public comments ensure that the public can "have its voice heard and considered."
