YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Help us cover the political revolution

"The government's primary media regulator has a new leader—and he's among the most outspoken critics of the net neutrality regulations put in place during the Barack Obama administration.

Aji Pai, who's served as an FCC commissioner since 2012, has been selected by President Donald Trump as the next chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, a role that will give him serious power to reshape how the government regulates the media and the internet.

Pai's appointment is a death knell for the major changes put in place under outgoing chairman Tom Wheeler, which gave the FCC greater power to prevent internet providers from blocking websites, throttling traffic, striking deals to create fast lanes, or really, anything else that would violate the principles of net neutrality."
