Did a thing today and gave a presentation to the Highline College faculty on Title II changes regarding accessibility standards for their classes. I'm getting better at this!

Watch my restraint today, as I *don’t* give in to the temptation to debunk the same, tired Republican talking points on #TitleII and #NetNeutrality and broadband investment for like literally the hundredth time. #subcommtech #FCCoversight

I used to do a lot of live-tweeting of FCC open meetings, congressional hearings, etc. Today's #NetNeutrality & #TitleII FCC vote is momentous, but my Bluesky game is not. Yet I just wanted to have a few posts ready to rebut what we'll almost certainly hear from Commissioner Carr today in dissent.

Senator Cruz takes the opportunity of a hearing on broadband affordability in #SenateCommerce to tell the same old lies about #TitleII & #NetNeutrality, claiming investment fell in 2015. All of the numbers show the opposite, and ISPs never tell their investors that the rules impact their spending.

Most sites still aren't ready. The people who lose aren't agencies -- it's the constituents who need access to public services.

We're also going to hear that repeal of #TitleII #NetNeutrality made broadband investment go up.
This is false.
There is no impact on investment and technology cycles from FCC regulations. @freepress.bsky.social knows because we study and track this. Meticulously.

We're going to hear that thanks to FCC repeal and abdication, broadband speeds went up. But it's ridiculous to suggest that speeds increased due to FCC regulations or their absence. Speeds increase because technology improves over time. And they went up with #TitleII #NetNeutrality in place too.

The Trump administration made this claim several years too. It was as false then as it is now. As we explained, "average maximum speeds available in the United States have been rocketing up for years — based not just on fiber deployments but" cable and telco improvements too. #TitleII #NetNeutrality

A blue vertical bar on the left reads "ADA FACTS" in white text. The main section shows the Mid-Atlantic ADA Center logo. Text reads: Under ADA Title II, state and local agencies hosting holiday parades, concerts, tree-lightings, or community celebrations must ensure effective communication — which may include captioning, ASL interpreters, assistive listening devices, or accessible digital materials.
