I am so honored to be named by @POTUS to serve our country as Assistant Secretary of Commerce and Administrator of @NTIAgov. We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to close the Digital Divide, make the best use of our airwaves, and build a better Internet for all.

Great reminder @amac: Many of the most pro-consumer, pro-innovation features of Internet law today are not random but the product of principled organizations and people fighting for important things, sometimes over years and at great cost.

With the Oracle decision today, Google wins the third of a set of big copyright cases about decisions made >10yrs ago by a strong team of lawyers with whom I was privileged to work: 1) book search is fair use 2) the DMCA protects YouTube 3) Android's use Java APIs is fair use

The tech CEOs risk winning the battle but losing the war. No viral slipups, but no changed minds either. A bipartisan majority is fed up and wants action. The wheels of Congress move slowly, but this was a first step.

The @jack open social media protocol has real promise and was underexplored once again. It remains one of the best product ideas out there for giving users more control over their feeds.

Reading through these orders is like reliving the worst moments of the last Administration, only in reverse. It's been a good day for America.

Today @POTUS will sign executive orders to: * Rejoin Paris Climate Accord * Require masks for fed buildings & employees * End Muslim travel ban * Bring back DACA * Pause student loans, mortgage payments & evictions With historic challenges, this Administration is #ReadyonDayOne.

We can build a healthier internet with an updated vision of open. Needed: New tech w. a commitment to open standards/sw; demand for healthy open products; tougher regulation to protect users/promote open. A reimagined open internet is the key to the better online life we need.

Today’s internet moved away from this. “Open” is a watered-down term. Open standards became closed platforms. Companies build walled gardens but call them open. And old tools for accountability have failed to scale. The result: An internet we know can be better.
