FCC Restores Net Neutrality, AI in Law Enforcement, Microsoft Criticized for Security

The FCC's decision to restore net neutrality by reclassifying broadband as an essential service marks a significant development in the regulation of the broadband sector. By treating broadband as an essential service and prohibiting Internet service providers from blocking, throttling, or engaging in aid prioritization of lawful content, the FCC aims to ensure a fast, open, and fair internet for all users. This move is crucial for maintaining an equitable digital landscape where all content providers, regardless of their size and financial capabilities, have equal access to consumers. Microsoft is facing challenges in rebuilding trust due to security breaches and criticism surrounding its security practices. The company has been targeted by Russian state-sponsored hackers, leading to concerns about the security of email accounts and stolen source code. Additionally, Chinese government hackers have breached U.S. government emails through Microsoft cloud exploits. In response to these incidents, Microsoft has launched the Secure Future initiative to enhance its security efforts, prioritizing security over new features and focusing on AI and security. Three things to know today00:00 FCC Votes to Restore Net Neutrality, Reclassifying Broadband as Essential Service  03:13 AI’s Role in the Workplace: Enhancing Productivity Without Displacing Jobs, According to New Study06:10 Microsoft Urged to Rebuild Trust Amid Security Breaches and Rising Criticism   Supported by:  https://www.bitdefender.com/business/products/msp-security-solutions.htmlhttps://huntress.com/mspradio/  All our Sponsors:   https://businessof.tech/sponsors/     💼 All Our SponsorsSupport the vendors who support the show:👉 https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ 🚀 Join Business of Tech PlusGet exclusive access to investigative reports, vendor analysis, leadership briefings, and more.👉 https://businessof.tech/plus 🎧 Subscribe to the Business of TechWant the show on your favorite podcast app or prefer the written versions of each story?📲 https://www.businessof.tech/subscribe 📰 Story Links & SourcesLooking for the links from today’s stories?Every episode script — with full source links — is posted at:🌐 https://www.businessof.tech 🎙 Want to Be a Guest?Pitch your story or appear on Business of Tech: Daily 10-Minute IT Services Insights:💬 https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/businessoftech 🔗 Follow Business of Tech LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/28908079YouTube: https://youtube.com/mspradioBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/businessof.techInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mspradioTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@businessoftechFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/mspradionews Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
