Thirteen U.S. senators have introduced a resolution aiming to overturn an FCC order that expands the Universal Service Fund to subsidize Wi-Fi hotspots for students outside classrooms. This action is taken under the Congressional Review Act, asserting that the FCC's decision undermines parental control and poses risks for children's online safety, as it does not mandate parental consent for usage. Critics argue the initiative could lead to unmonitored internet access, potentially exposing students to inappropriate content.
"Every parent of a young child or teenager either worries about, or knows first-hand, the real dangers of the internet. The government shouldn't be complicit in harming students or impeding parents' ability to decide what their kids see by subsidizing unsupervised access to inappropriate content."
