The US Department of Justice under President Joe Biden has dropped a department lawsuit filed under former President Donald Trump that challenged California’s net neutrality rules. California’s law, considered more strict than federal rules adopted during the Obama administration, could set the baseline for future federal rules. 

The DOJ formally dismissed the lawsuit Monday. The suit was first filed in 2018 under ex-US Attorney General Jeff Sessions, a Trump appointee. Former California Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat, signed the California law in October 2018. California adopted the new rules after a Republican-led FCC in 2017 repealed federal rules that had been established under President Barrack Obama.
