Title: Biden Deputizes FCC to Police the Internet
Topic: Federal Communications Commission
Discussed by Stephen Moore
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)
At the direction of the Biden Administration, Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) lawyers have developed a new standard known as “disparate
impact”, which means telecom companies must provide minority neighborhoods
the exact same internet access as a high-income area. If they fail to comply,
the FCC will sue them.

Title: The FCC is Picking Winner and Losers
Topic: Federal Communications Commission
Discussed by Tom Schatz
with Citizens Against Government Waste (www.cagw.org)
Once again, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has entered
into unnecessary and wasteful rulemaking. This time, in addition
to mandating the use of outdated technology, the agency will allow search engine
companies to access and search all broadcast content, repackage it, monitor
consumer viewing habits, and optimize the advertisements they deliver to
consumers. In other words, the FCC wants to allow a third party to spy on you
through your “set top box”.
Tom Schatz, the President of Citizens Against Government Waste, first
explains that the “set top box” is how consumers receive their television
service, whether through cable or satellite or some other means. “The FCC
wants to take that information and the content itself and open it up to whoever
wants to pick and choose what to show,” Tom explains. To make a long story
short, the FCC wants to highjack unnecessary information and intellectual
property from the consumer, while increasing costs.
Ready for more shocking news? Google is the big push behind this effort! And
they don’t want to pay for it! Tom Schatz explains that Google will be able to “get
what they cannot get in the marketplace through regulation.” If the FCC is
allowed to follow through with this plan, Google will be able to obtain
information from all your devices – not just your TV. They’ll have access to
your cell phone, iPad, iPod, computer – everything!
Google is not the only company who would benefit from this new regulation.
Listen in as Tom explains that, currently, there are strict privacy laws. If
this regulations is allowed, however, any company could pay your television
provided “x amount of dollars” to essentially hack into your home! President
Obama has been the “approve every new regulation” kind of President and is most
definitely pushing this new FCC rule through the door of every home in America.
Do yourself a favor. Get rid of the “box” and choose a new option to view your
favorite shows, like Amazon or Roku.
