The problem, @AmbQinGang, is not that China “is seen as a challenge.” The problem is that your CCP has launched a brazen campaign of spying, economic espionage, bribery, blackmail, theft, hacking, malign influence, criminal law violations, & human rights abuses, to name a few. — PolitiTweet.org

It's time for Big Tech to start paying a fair share. Big Tech hauls in profits with help from the FCC’s $9B a year Universal Service Fund, which supports Internet builds & connections. Yet telephone customers are stuck paying the $9B through a charge on their monthly bills. — PolitiTweet.org

Senators Blumenthal & Blackburn are demanding answers from TikTok & its content moderator after reports that a shared spreadsheet containing hundreds of graphic, illegal images of children, known as “Daily Required Reading,” has been used to train 3rd-party content moderators. ⤵️ — PolitiTweet.org

Napakiak is where I met Rachel—a mom to a 7 year old boy. When we spoke, it was the 1st day of school, & the village school is closed for construction. So the larger school district went virtual. Except, Rachel says, they have no Internet or devices here. That’s not acceptable. https://t.co/qHn858ssYc — PolitiTweet.org

@rok3shox @SenDanSullivan I think Starlink should very much be part of the solution for rural and remote communities, as I indicated from Napakiak: https://t.co/mcHKpASGwb — PolitiTweet.org

Napakiak is a small village that sits on Alaska’s Kuskokwim River. Its off the road system & accessed mainly by boat. I welcomed the chance to visit with @SenDanSullivan b/c this is a place that can get high-speed Internet if we implement the infrastructure laws right #CarrTrip https://t.co/TSGLBboOCa — PolitiTweet.org

The U.S. House of Representatives’ Chief Administrative Officer has issued a cyber advisory on TikTok, labeling it “high-risk” with personal info accessed from inside China: “we do not recommend the download or use of this application due to these security and privacy concerns.” https://t.co/F87qwFiHhR — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

Third, I’m pleased the FCC report recommends Congress provide the legislative tools needed for the FCC to change the contributions base to reduce the financial burden on consumers. This type of authority would allow the FCC to start assessing a full range of Big Tech’s revenues. — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

Second, I am very pleased that both the record and the FCC’s report provide such broad-based support for requiring Big Tech to start contributing a fair share in support of USF. Indeed, this aligns with the idea I proposed last year. — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

Indeed, as the FCC report notes, assessing broadband would result in a “massive $4 billion annual wealth transfer from consumers to giant companies with a "disproportionate harm on low-income households" too. — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

First, the FCC report throws cold water on the idea that we should fund the $9B a year program through a new charge on Americans’ Internet bills. Hitting families with that broadband price hike—perhaps nearing $200 a year—is a nonstarter, particularly with sky-high inflation. — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

The FCC works to bridge the digital divide through a program known as the USF. But the funding mechanism for it is stuck in a death spiral - threatening its future. Today, the FCC issued a report to Congress on the future of the USF. I want to highlight 3 points here… https://t.co/zYFjrRrrbn — PolitiTweet.org
