FCC Chair says Twitter and YouTube’s political biases are the real threat to an open internet
FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, speaking Tuesday at a panel on the “future of internet freedom,” asked and answered this question in staunchly libertarian terms, calling out YouTube, Facebook and Twitter’s purported double standards against conservatives and identifying them as the “actual threat” to the open internet. Pai’s critics say net neutrality repeal will lay the groundwork for ISPs to fragment and meter out the internet, but, speaking on a panel hosted by libertarian think tank, R Street Institute, Pai said Silicon Valley—wicked, liberal, Silicon Valley—already does this by promoting some viewpoints while suppressing others.
