FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr said in a statement Monday that the agency’s proposed “digital discrimination” rule would “micromanage” every part of the internet.
In November 2021, Congress adopted, and President Joe Biden signed, the so-called $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The legislation, which did not do much to improve infrastructure, contained a provision requiring the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to adopt rules by November 15, 2025, to “prevent” and identify necessary steps to “eliminate” digital discrimination.
As part of the rulemaking process, FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel created the Task Force to Prevent Digital Discrimination.
Breitbart News documented how 19 Senate Republicans and 13 House Republicans helped pass one of Biden’s signature bills of his administration.
