#GoogleMaps aids and enables #lawbreaking when it warns of #speedTraps. Will be emailing the #FCC.

The DoJ isn't the only public agency that's serving the American people. The #FCC just announced proceedings to force #Cybersecurity labels for "smart" devices:

This is long overdue, and it's a welcome action from the FCC, which was hamstrung for years because cowardly Democratic senators joined with homophobic, libelous #Republicans in blocking confirmation hearings for the amazing #GigiSohn:

Senate Confirms Anna Gomez to Lead FCC

"As a Democratic commissioner, she’s poised to help chair Jessica Rosenworcel pass parts of the Biden administration’s agenda that have no support from Republican commissioners, particularly restoring net neutrality rules that were rolled back under the Trump administration."

“Section 308B of the Communications Act, a law, requires the FCC to inquire into the character qualifications of anyone granted a license as a public trustee to broadcast on the public airwaves,” Padden tells The Progressive. “And if the character requirement in the Communications Act is to have any meaning at all it surely must mean that you can not present false news.”

#FCC just the name of the #FCC
scared the shit out of me & my friends.
I got a 30 day suspension for obscenities. I was 17/18 years old.
You have control of a radio station with 100k watts to a couple of teenagers.
I still have my license. Never got suspended again.

A quote so stupid, it makes your eye cross..

"If confirmed, [Anna Gomez] would give the Democrats a majority at the #FCC that would enable them to impose a radical left-wing agenda, including investment-killing and job-killing so-called net neutrality rules, otherwise known as Obamacare for the Internet. I strongly oppose her nomination and I encourage my colleagues to do the same." - Ted Cruz (of course)

Lenovo Wireless Transmitter MD80 passes through the FCC. It's "a device that can wirelessly send the screen of a computer, mobile phone, etc to another screen" and features a USB_C port and support for 4K/30Hs streaming over WiFi 6. https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits&RequestTimeout=500&calledFromFrame=N&application_id=zQhn9wbDUvh8eeE823qBxw%3D%3D&fcc_id=A5M-MD80 #lenovo #LenovoWirelessTransmitter #FCC

Bring on #NetNeutrality

This news is fitting for this word: Finally. https://www.fiercewireless.com/wireless/senate-votes-approve-anna-gomez-5th-fcc-commissioner

But sadly, it's way too late and with #SCOTUS all but gutting all federal agency powers by this time next year (1), the online for all to bridge the digital divide fight is going to be at the local and state levels and it will be even more important.

Senate confirms Biden FCC pick as 5 Republicans join Democrats in 55-43 vote - Enlarge / The Federal Communications Commission seal hangs inside a mee... - https://arstechnica.com/?p=1966305 #annagomez #policy #biden #fcc

The move returns the agency to full strength for the first time under #Biden, whose initial pick for the #FCC role Gigi Sohn withdrew after a contentious 16-month #confirmation battle. The impasse has left the agency w/o a Democratic majority for the entirety of Biden’s term until now.

The #Senate #confirmed #AnnaGomez, Pres #Biden’s pick for the #FCC, ending a lengthy #partisan split at the #regulatory agency & giving #Democrats the power to (finally) carry out major agenda items.

Senators voted 55-43 to confirm Gomez, an FCC veteran who is currently a #communications #policy adviser for the State Dept. Gomez will take the third Democratic seat on the 5-member commission, which oversees #broadband & #communications #regulation.

Great news, the #FCC is now controlled by Dems: Anna Gomez, a telecommunications ATTY, was confirmed by the Sen. The FCC has the opp.to pursue actions w/o the support of the Republican commissioners -could incl. a push to return to #NetNeutrality rules, which seek to prevent internet service providers from slowing or blocking service for select websites, for which Pres Biden has voiced his support. The FCC likely will give greater scrutiny to proposed mergers😃. #Antitrust https://deadline.com/2023/09/fcc-senate-confirmation-anna-gomez-democrats-1235539010/

"This is your chance to get on the record and tell us what you think the rules should be. If #infosec doesn’t make this an issue, the general public will continue falsely assuming that everything is fine. But if you get on the record and the government fails to act, the evidence of this failure will be all over the Internet forever."
