  • The US government can not censor speech for private citizens except in extremely limited terms.

    This is a government employee communicating on behalf of the government. The government has every right to censor the speech that it puts out.

    Also, for what it's worth, the US has much stronger free speech protections than the EU. Whether or not that's a good thing is up for debate.

  • “The Affordable Connectivity Program filled an important gap that provider low-income programs, state and local affordability programs, and the Lifeline program cannot fully address,” said FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel in a statement, referring to the name of another, similar FCC program that subsidizes wireless and home internet service. “The Commission is available to provide any assistance Congress may need to support funding the ACP in the future and stands ready to resume the program if additional funding is provided.”

    Some US lawmakers proposed bipartisan legislation to extend the ACP in the months leading up to the deadline. But the bills languished in the face of inaction by Republican leaders who showed little interest in engaging with the issue. President Joe Biden and Democratic lawmakers have publicly blamed GOP leadership for allowing the ACP to end.

    While your version jives with lemmy's "both sides" reactionary bullshit, reality is quite a bit different.
