FCC Chair Who Implemented Section 230 Admits Creating a Tech Monopoly Was the Plan All Along

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chair who oversaw the implementation of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act has admitted the mistake he and others made by creating special privileges in the marketplace that have allowed for the rise of monopoly tech firms.

Reed Hundt spoke to ProMarket about the monster he helped create when he led the FCC during the Clinton administration from 1993 to 1997. He explained that big tech monopolies and oligarchies were not created by accident, but by design through government regulatory policy.

“In every country, almost without exception, there is an antitrust policy and an antitrust history, and in every single country the narrative of this antitrust oscillates between applying some rigorous economic theory designed to promote efficiency, with a willingness to have winners, and another school where it is not just about efficiency—it is also about the social impact. And it goes back and forth,” Hundt said.

While Jeffrey Epstein met a gruesome end by way of “suicide,” his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell has flown under the radar for the most part. That may be changing soon, however, if her hacked emails come to light.

Lawyers for the British socialite admitted that Maxwell’s emails had been hacked in a letter that they filed last year in Epstein victim Virginia Guiffre’s defamation case. Maxwell’s attorney, Ty Gee sent the letter to New York federal court Judge Loretta A. Preska on Dec. 5, and it was finally made public this week.

The letter notes that it is “difficult-to-overstate importance to the lives of Ms. Maxwell and the non-parties” regarding the 8,600 pages were reportedly hacked. It bemoans “the difficulty and complexity” of the entire situation, and calls for key information to be withheld or redacted.

The letter urges careful consideration in redacting the information. It says the task “could not be accomplished by scanning or speed-reading” because granular information such as “a surname or an email address” must be hidden from the public. It claims that mistakes were made when 2,000 pages were unsealed by the Second Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals and made available to the public in August.

“Despite the Second Circuit’s best efforts, it made serious mistakes. For example, it redacted a non-party’s name in one location but not another; so the media immediately gained access to that name,” Gee wrote.

“As another example, it redacted Ms. Maxwell’s email address (which linked to her own domain name) in one location but not another; shortly afterward hackers breached the host computer,” he added.

According to reporting from The Daily Telegraph, Maxwell regularly used a secret email server to conduct her correspondence. This was likely done to make it more difficult for authorities to access to her messages, but it made her more vulnerable to hacking attempts.
