Weeks ago, Cubans took to the streets for Libertad. The regime then blocked Internet services to hide their brutal response. America has the technical capability to restore service through new connections + circumvention tools. It’s past time to green light this action. — PolitiTweet.org

Big Tech is hauling in record-breaking profits thanks to America's high-speed broadband networks, which are subsidized by the government through a 30% charge added to *your* telephone bill. It's time for Big Tech to start contributing a fair share. https://t.co/3zzG6vMKQk — PolitiTweet.org

This is a bold and comprehensive set of bills that would rein in Big Tech—ending their abusive practices while promoting free speech on the Internet. I applaud the Commerce Committee’s Republican Leader @cathymcmorris and her @HouseCommerce colleagues on their strong leadership. https://t.co/1vCIzK72HJ — PolitiTweet.org

It’s time for Big Tech to start contributing a fair share towards the country’s broadband infrastructure efforts, rather than sticking consumers with 100% of the bill for these efforts. https://t.co/YWvuFqmRt1 — PolitiTweet.org

When Cubans, yearning for liberty, took to the streets, the communist regime cut off Internet services. We have the technical capability to restore these services—backing the people’s fight for freedom. Honored to stand with congressional leaders in urging Biden Admin action. https://t.co/KwPlpYUsob — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

The federal government’s current approach to funding broadband infrastructure builds - namely, adding 30% to consumers’ telephone bills! - is outdated, unsustainable, and unfair, as @joellthayer writes. A fairer approach is a user fee that Big Tech pays. https://t.co/0o85LLLKaQ — PolitiTweet.org

@JohnBrownZion @SenatorWicker @SenCapito @SenToddYoung This would not include ISPs. Some people want to shift the existing 30% charge from the telephone portion of your bill over to the broadband portion. This would not do that. It would look at moving the charge over to digital ad services, which don't have consumer facing bills. — PolitiTweet.org

“Florida @GovRonDeSantis posted an open letter calling on the Biden administration to provide the Cuban people with Internet,” writes @antoniogm “Unleashing Internet access would be a transformative end run around” the Cuban regime’s Internet shutdown. https://t.co/n83T82nT7f — PolitiTweet.org

“The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) editorial board, as well as Commissioner Carr…said that the United States has the possibility of helping the reestablishment of connectivity in Cuba; if that is what the Biden administration wants,” writes @rondon_EA26 https://t.co/X8FLP9EdcP — PolitiTweet.org

I applaud Republican Whip @SteveScalise and Congresswoman @RepAnnaEshoo for their leadership and work to secure America’s communications networks. Their bill would close a glaring security loophole that Huawei and others are exploiting today. https://t.co/ItwHyS25X9 https://t.co/WsB08DUPgo — PolitiTweet.org

“Unleashing Internet access would be a transformative end run around the Cuban government’s total Internet shutdowns,” writes @antoniogm in an important op-ed. It’s something we can do and “should feel duty-bound to do.” https://t.co/n83T82nT7f — PolitiTweet.org

Circumvention tools, like the @PsiphonInc app I noted below, might be the fastest way to restore Internet services for many Cubans. The U.S. provided support for this tech in the past & even a little government funding now can keep these types of technologies running for Cubans. — PolitiTweet.org

I applaud Senators @SenatorWicker, @SenCapito, & @SenToddYoung on their introduction of the FAIR Share Act.
