"Chamber of Commerce Challenges Biden Administration's Digital Equity Rules"
House Republicans are introducing a resolution to disapprove of the Biden administration's "digital discrimination" rules, which they argue is a federal government power grab over the internet. The rules, implemented as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, aim to prevent digital discrimination in access to broadband services based on income level, race, ethnicity, color, religion, or national origin. Critics argue that the rules could widen the digital divide and stifle investment in broadband deployments, while supporters believe they will protect civil rights and increase internet access. The resolution would need to pass the House and Senate before reaching President Biden's desk.
