EO 4.4.20- Executive Order on Establishing the Committee for the Assessment of Foreign Participation in the United States Telecommunications Services Sector footnote.(a)

Nate Simington, a very smart and qualified individual, is having his Senate hearing today. Republicans will hopefully confirm him to the FCC ASAP! We need action NOW on this very important nomination!!
(…If confirmed, Simington would fill the seat that will be vacated by O’Rielly, who has been on the commission since 2013. Both are Republicans, but O’Rielly gave a speech in July in which he expressed doubts over proposals to target social media platforms for the way that they curate their content.
“Like it or not, the First Amendment’s protections apply to corporate entities, especially when they engage in editorial decision making,” O’Rielly said.) footnote.(b)
EO provides the Legal and Enforcement Tools BUT the FCC needs to follow the orders:
