Restoring Internet Freedom (Правила восстановления свободы интернета) были приняты 14 декабря 2017 года во время первого президентского срока Дональда Трампа. Утвердив их, Федеральная комиссия по связи (FCC) отменила Open Internet Order (Правила открытого интернета) 2015 года и вернулась к схеме мягкого регулирования.
