SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) President Barack Obama says he is "unequivocally committed" to keeping the Internet free and open, a concept known as "net neutrality."
Net neutrality is the idea that Internet service providers shouldn't block, manipulate or slow data moving across their networks.
Obama credits net neutrality with unleashing the power of the Internet. He says he doesn't want to lose that power or "clog up the pipes."
