The Biden administration has a new plan for “digital equity,” which masquerades as a way to control every aspect of the internet.
The plan will affect all internet services and infrastructure and calls for the Federal Communications Commission to apply a far-reaching set of government controls.
“Never before in the roughly 40-year history of the public internet has the FCC or any federal agency, for that matter, claimed this degree of control over it.”
“This is breathtaking control of all information,” Glenn Beck warns.
In a statement from the FCC’s commissioner, Brendan Carr, he writes “The federal government has a roving mandate to micromanage nearly every aspect of how the internet functions.”
This will affect everything from “how internet service providers allocate capital [and] where they build to the services that consumers can purchase — from the profits that ISPs can realize and how they market and advertise services to the discounts and promotions that consumers can receive.”
Not only is Glenn horrified at what this means for the internet in general, he recognizes how this might affect his own company, TheBlaze.
“This is so far-reaching that it will mean even TheBlaze, because we are on the backbone of the internet,” he says, “we will now have to comply by government FCC regulations.”
Glenn, who has done broadcasts under FCC regulations for 48 years, knows well what this means for free speech.
“This is a very big deal,” he says.
