FCC accused of cutting internet for 100,000 schools and libraries
Original: Donald J. Trump's Federal Communications Commission cutting INTERNET For over 100,000 PUBLIC SCHOOL AND LIBRARIES 😡😡😡 Co
Claims are circulating that the Federal Communications Commission under Donald Trump is moving to cut internet access for more than 100,000 public schools and libraries. Critics say the move would hit underprivileged students and job seekers hardest, since library connections are used for school research and job applications. The anger online reflects concern that a widely relied-upon public service is being stripped back without clear alternatives.
Why now: People are reacting to reported FCC plans affecting the E-Rate-style subsidized internet service for schools and libraries under the Trump administration
