Us FCC "Twitter is a part of a problem"

US FCC chairman says "When it comes to a free and open internet. Twitter is a part of a problem"

Ajit Varadaraj Pai the Chairman of the United States Federal Communications Commission has been opposing to net neutrality (the principle that net service providers should treat all data the same, and not discriminate) rules as they're currently constructed and might go through with a proposal to roll back the rules next month by the previous administration.

That's Pai's logic, not ours. While speaking at an event in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, Pai pointed the finger at Twitter and other big tech companies, essentially saying they wield too much control.

"Now look, I love Twitter", Pai said. "But let's not kid ourselves; when it comes to a free and open internet, Twitter is a part of the problem. The company has a viewpoint and uses that viewpoint to discriminate."

Pai continued saying "and unfortunately, Twitter is not an outlier. Indeed despite all the talk, and all the fear, that broadband providers could decide what internet content consumers can see, recent experience shows that so-called edge providers are in fact deciding what content they see. These providers routinely block or discriminate against content they don't like." He also included Google and Facebook.

Part of what's frustrating about Pai's comments is that it reinforces the futility in fighting againts the FCC's proposal.
