    The Federal Communications Commission is about to revive the fight for net neutrality.

    I’m over at the FCC building in Washington, D.C. today because the agency is about to vote on a notice of proposed rulemaking to restore net neutrality.

    It’s also Commissioner Anna Gomez’s first open meeting after her September confirmation.

    Four FCC commissioners chatting before voting on a new net neutrality notice of proposed rulemaking.

    A Speaker Jim Jordan could spell disaster for reining in Big Tech’s power.

    As Jordan races to overcome a first failed vote to become Speaker of the House Tuesday, CNBC put out a great reminder that the Ohio congressman could really care less about new antitrust laws.

    Jordan’s spent the last few years investigating Big Tech in the House Judiciary Committee, but his focus has always been on content moderation and his unfounded fears that platforms are unfairly biased against conservatives.

    And notably, Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO), who’s authored many of these antitrust bills, refused to vote for Jordan during the first round of speaker votes Tuesday.
