Defying “armies of lobbyists,” the U.S. Senate voted 52-47 to block the Trump administration’s repeal of net neutrality rules. All members of the Democratic caucus and three Republicans voted in favor of a resolution that would undo the FCC’s December 2017 to deregulate the broadband industry.

Mark Zuckerberg has agreed to appear in person before the EU Parliament to answer questions about Facebook’s data practices and policies as early as next week.

It’s possible that a public hearing with EU regulators could happen down the line.[Kurt Wagner / Recode]
