BIDEN’S LATEST BIG GOVERNMENT INTRUSION TARGETS THE INTERNET:
In the roughly six years since Trump repealed net neutrality, we haven’t seen internet service providers throttle speeds or charge us for every tweet. In fact, internet speeds have only increased, as has investment into broadband access. Yet, for some reason, the Biden administration is nonetheless bringing back net neutrality regulations.
Last week, the Federal Communications Commission voted to reinstate the rules along party lines.
“I think in a modern digital economy, we should have a national net neutrality policy and make clear the nation’s expert on communications has the ability to act when it comes to broadband,” Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel, a Biden appointee, said. “This is good for consumers, good for public safety and good for national security.”
FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr, a Republican appointee, voted against the reinstatement and blasted it as a “power grab.”
In September, Steve wrote, “Net neutrality was Barack Obama’s gift to Netflix, who then gave him a sweetheart production deal a short time after he left office. I wonder what Joe Biden expects to get.”
