Johnson made these remarks in response to the White House’s support for heavy-handed regulation of the Internet: “Last week, voters across the country rejected the president’s regulatory policies that have made this economic recovery the weakest in more than half a century. Ignoring this, today the president has decided to go after one sector of our economy that has continued to flourish: the Internet. Treating the dynamic Internet like a government-regulated utility will stall investment and innovation and inject uncertainty into the market through burdensome rules and legal challenges. As a member of the Senate Commerce Committee with direct oversight over the FCC, I strongly oppose reclassifying the Internet under Title II of the Communications Act and will remind the FCC that as an independent agency, it answers to Congress, not the White House.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
