I wanna pull this out of the tags re: the FCC working to restore net neutrality.
The current FCC chairwoman is Jessica Rosenworcel, a democrat. There are 5 FCC commissioners who vote on the important things regarding the FCC.
Back in late 2017 when the first fight for net neutrality happened, there were 3 republican commissioners and 2 democrat commissioners. I, back when I was a college freshman, personally sent a letter to every single one of them begging them not to repeal net neutrality. Rosenworcel’s office was the only one who replied to me. She and the other democrat commissioner opposed repealing net neutrality, but they were outvoted 3-2.
Fast forward to today, Jessica Rosenworcel is now the FCC chairwoman and FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE NET NEUTRALITY WAS REPEALED, there is a democrat majority of FCC commissioners.
The timing of this cannot be understated, Anna M. Gomez, a democrat, was just sworn in as an FCC commissioner on September 25th, 2023.
Jessica Rosenworcel has literally been biding her time to restore net neutrality and the SECOND she got the votes to do it, she started pushing it through.
Everyone say thank you to Jessica Rosenworcel for remaining steadfast on net neutrality all these years…
