This public program will feature experts in human rights, technology, and cyber access to understand the implications of blocking freedom of information, and what can be done about it.

He noted the many achievements during his term, including the Open Internet Order. He spoke passionately and forcefully about the importance of strong net neutrality rules to preserve the Open Internet as a platform for free expression and innovation, suggesting that the rules are working well, and that, historically, such constraints were always required on dominant networks. He also emphasized the vital civic role the FCC has to play in protecting privacy and security of US communications. See below:
