How about just no censorship rather than state to state?
And lets not pretend like the FCC is at all competent enough to prevent people looking up whatever they damn well please. Private corporations however, can do quite a lot with the profit motive.

if the nn law simply said nobody can regulate the internet, it wouldn't have been shut down.
but it was sloppily put under title II which, allows the FCC to make unilateral decisions about stuff like can it be throttled without public consent.
So in this case you had a government (with an authoritarian demigod as a leader mind you, LOL guess the left was wrong about that) that luckily decided that it wouldn't use this power to take away your freedom, but they could have just as easily banned fake news if they wanted to. Left you alone with the trump news channel and fox news.
So it was just one of many bad, ill prepared, not thought out actions of the Obama administration.
