Pro-competition bills—S. 2992, the American Innovation and Choice Online Act, and S. 2710, the Open App Markets Act—will get us there. Competition, not walled gardens, is the best way to create better, safer products. Congress should pass these bills.

When your tech doesn't serve your needs, you should be able to modify it. That's #interoperability. When a company won't help with interop, that's #AdversarialInteroperability, or as we call it, #CompetitiveCompatibility (#Comcom for short).

The major ISPs have nothing to fear from a deadlocked FCC, which is why they are investing so much dark money in preventing the confirmation of a 5th commissioner seat. Call your Senators and ask them to vote for Gigi Sohn.
