Mozilla joining the fight to save net neutrality. The open source web browser filed a petition this week, challenging the Federal Communication Commission's vote to roll back Obama-era protections. Mozilla's Senior Policy Manager Heather West explains what the company is hoping to accomplish with this petition.
