I think it’s really important to note this isn’t “THE” FCC making the request. It’s one FCC Commissioner expressing their opinion. It has no legal authority. It’s basically meaningless. Nothing will come of it. It’s just complicated air flow that will briefly spark internet outrage on “both sides” of a debate over an issue that doesn’t even actually exist because the FCC hasn’t even done anything.


True. I speculated that it's somebody asking nicely before more explicit orders are issued.


No, it’s just politicking.


And a commissioner appointed by Trump, no less.
