Under the law, the FCC does not have the authority to revoke a license of a broadcast station based on the content of a particular newscast.

Scammers and spammers use spoofing to disguise their identity, to trick consumers into answering unwanted calls, and to hide from authorities.

The scourge of unlawful robocalls is technically complex to address, and no single action will get the job done.

Next-generation networks are hard to build. It takes a lot of money and effort to lay fiber, install wireless infrastructure, build satellite earth stations, and more. It also requires a reasonably certain business case for deployment, which is all too often hard to prove in parts of the country with sparse population and/or lower incomes.

The federal government has no business spending your hard-earned money on a project to monitor political speech on Twitter.

And I would much rather have an open and honest debate about the appropriate regulatory framework as opposed to throwing misinformation out there to achieve political ends.
