The ITPC enhances @govwaste’s decades-long work to research, educate, & promote policies that will ensure the innovations of tomorrow will see the light of day.

In a moment of regulatory whiplash, all Americans should be gravely concerned that the @FCC has voted to pursue a wasteful, fruitless, and likely unconstitutional effort to re-establish and expand government control over a vibrant sector of the economy. https://t.co/YkmA3PM57l

Despite the success for consumers getting online following the Restoring Internet Freedom Order, the @FCC is at it again trying to reinstitute #netneutrality rules.  As noted by the WSJ editorial board, this is a serious misstep.  https://t.co/UjoxLkLoO5

Protecting IP rights, especially for women, should be foremost on everyone’s mind on World IP Day. Otherwise, there will be fewer inventions and innovations that help improve, protect, and save lives. https://t.co/MYAKSzs5Sp

A new law could prevent Florida small businesses from reaching their customers online. https://t.co/R7jlEVZHFv

.@ITIFdc's review of @linakhanFTC’s law school article says that “her analysis should not form the basis for antitrust reform.” Because she “ignored or misapplied the economics of two-sided markets…”. No wonder she abandoned the consumer welfare standard.

The solution to increased #broadband access has been to spend money and create more programs rather than determining which programs are the most effective solution. https://t.co/DxJfyUJohY

#MerryChristmas and #HappyNewYear from CAGW!

Former FCC Commissioner @MPORielly shows how to avoid making the wrong turn on funding the middle mile for #broadband networks and close rather than widen the #DigitalDivide. https://t.co/sdPPHE4eML

With more than $42 billion being provided for broadband deployment at the @NTIAgov, the agency should heed the request by @SenatorWicker and Rep. @cathymcmorris to eliminate any delays by local governments in getting projects underway. https://t.co/tVvrAr2Mw1

.@linakhanFTC is trying to expand the role of the @FTC beyond the commission’s authority. https://t.co/bnUziSxZO6

Conflating beneficial and risky data collection practices” to hurt successful businesses large and small is harmful to consumers and goes against the @FTC’s consumer welfare standard.  @jhuddles #privacy. https://t.co/cThBHPj4j1

In @jrhuddles’s latest @reason, she explains how the FTC is increasingly overstepping its proper authority, showing in its latest venture into data privacy: https://t.co/mrdZNOPgu0

While the forum opens the privacy discussion to the general public, the @FTC must keep in mind that Congress, not the FTC is in charge of developing a national framework for consumer data privacy.

[Innovation & Technology Policy Center @ITPC_CAGW]

The @FTC has already abandoned the consumer welfare standard and is now operating as a rogue enforcement agency that is in the process of promulgating overreaching regulations that are likely to be found in violation of its authority. https://t.co/khrz22Xhhf

Despite its name, the American Innovation and Choice Online Act will stifle innovation, leading to fewer choices and increased prices for consumers. https://t.co/AE4puGWI7p

Access to high-speed internet & quality broadband services is crucial to families, #smallbiz, & communities in rural Iowa.

Cutting bureaucratic red-tape that hinders our telecom providers means expanding these services to families that need them most. I’m working to do this!

[Innovation & Technology Policy Center @ITPC_CAGW]

FTC rulemaking under Chair @linakhanFTC is expanding to give the agency unprecedented and dangerous powers that would transform regulation of American business. https://t.co/ZGGsRiINft
