FCC chief accuses Twitter of threatening the open internet
Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai accused Twitter of endangering the open Internet, implying the microblogging platform is a significantly bigger threat to it than his controversial proposal of repealing the 2015 net neutrality rules is. During his speech held at R Street Institute-hosted Washington event on Tuesday, Pai said Twitter has a fixed set of beliefs and uses them to “discriminate” against people and entities on its platform, suggesting that Twitter’s service policy is “part of the problem” and possibly even more dangerous than whatever throttling Internet service providers may implement should the net neutrality rules be repealed.
