FCC boss sees Twitter as part of the problem
TechCrunch reports, “FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, as part of the plan to promote his plan to undo the country’s net neutrality rules, has thrown Twitter and other online services under the bus in order to show that it’s not just broadband providers that can exert control over internet content. ‘When it comes to an open Internet, Twitter is part of the problem,’ he explained. ‘The company has a viewpoint and uses that viewpoint to discriminate.'”
“Pai’s remarks were made at an event hosted by the ‘free market think tank’ R Street Institute and the “liberty”-focused Lincoln Network. Pai was joined by the other two Republican Commissioners, Brendan Carr and Mike O’Rielly, and FTC Chairman Maureen Ohlhausen. Needless to say, none of them is a fan of the existing 2015 rules.
