FCC commissioner blasts Biden’s ‘digital equity’ plan as 'unlawful power grab'
Fox News
Federal Communications Commission Commissioner Brendan Carr issued a press release Monday blasting President Biden's new plan to achieve “digital equity."
A draft of the FCC order said the commission would implement a section of Biden's 2021 infrastructure bill to establish a framework to "facilitate equal access to broadband internet access service by preventing digital discrimination of access to that service based on income level, race, ethnicity, color, religion and national origin."

Carr said he opposes the order, which he said would give the "Administrative State effective control of all Internet services and infrastructure."
