A former counselor to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chairman under former President Obama said in an interview that aired Thursday on “Rising” that the new Democratic-majority House will probe the handling of net neutrality by the Trump administration. 

She noted that Democrats are “angry” with the FCC repealing the rules that protected consumers from slowing or blocking internet content.

“This FCC has had a very, very easy two years,” Gigi Sohn, who is a Benton Senior Fellow and a public advocate, told Hill.TV’s Krystal Ball and Buck Sexton on “Rising.” 

“I think there’s going to be oversight both on the substance of what the FCC has done and also on the process,” she continued. “On the substance, net neutrality. So this is the principle that your internet service provider shouldn’t be able to block, throttle or otherwise discriminate against particular internet content.”
