The Internet has flourished precisely because it has been open and free of just this kind of government control. The Presidents policy would threaten to break the Internetand stifle innovation in the most vibrant sector of our economy." To keep creating jobs and opportunities for the American people, the Internet needs to be free, and protected by Congress if necessary - from another dysfunctional government takeover." Critics of the status quo are right to push for reform and its been almost twenty years since Congress updated The Communications Act. But net neutrality is a regulatory framework designed for railroads and telegraphs. We cant condemn a regulatory framework from the 20th century to replace it with one from the 19th! What we need is to ensure we are protecting consumers and competition across this sector, putting neither producers nor providers, but consumers at the center of the Internet economy." Senator Lee is a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee.	1	2026-03-30T12:14:52Z	2026-03-30T12:14:52Z
