I got my start in activism by launching a grassroots organization off a single post to Reddit.com in order to fight for a free and open internet. We won that battle in 2015 when the FCC reclassified internet service providers as Title II common carriers subject to net neutrality rules. Sadly, despite a public outcry, the Trump administration reversed this decision in 2017, leaving the internet unprotected yet again.
As a member of Congress, I will be an outspoken advocate for a free and open internet, and I will enthusiastically co-sponsor legislation that restores Title II regulations to the internet emphasizing three main principles: no blocking, no throttling, and no paid prioritization.
Additionally, we must bring to heel the spread of misinformation and extremism on our biggest platforms: Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, and Twitter. These companies must meaningfully improve their platforms or be broken up.
