Senator Ted Cruz is challenging a plan to distribute Wi-Fi hotspots to schoolchildren, expressing concerns about unsupervised internet access that may expose kids to inappropriate material. He argues that the initiative harms parental rights and endangers children's online safety. This controversy follows the FCC's July decision to support hotspot lending to assist kids lacking reliable internet for homework. Cruz is adamant that the new rule violates federal law and suggests it will lead to increased taxes on families. The debate highlights differing views on internet access and children's safety in the digital age.
"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."
"As adopted, the Biden administration's Wi-Fi Hotspot Order unlawfully expanded the Universal Service Fund (USF) to subsidize Wi-Fi hotspots for off-campus use by schoolchildren."
