Cruz: Hotspot lending could “censor kids’ exposure to conservative viewpoints.”…

Summary

Ted Cruz wants to block an FCC program that would allow schools and libraries to lend Wi-Fi hotspots for off-premises use, citing concerns about online safety and potential censorship of conservative viewpoints.

The program, introduced under the Universal Service Fund, aims to help students and patrons lacking internet access.

Cruz argues it exceeds FCC authority and could increase consumer bills.

Proponents, including former FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel, say it operates within the existing budget and addresses the digital divide.

    They are really good at backwards defining everything.

    Being able to look up information without being stopped is censorship!

      Brand your lies as the truth and anything that contradicts it as censorship. Now the argument isn’t against what was said, the argument is against your ability to say anything.
