Topic Overview

Internet

Technology is about changing people’s lives for the better. We are committed to increasing access to infrastructure that will connect Americans across the country — providing access to job opportunities, education, medical assistance and more. Through policy work on Capitol Hill, we protect the innovation economy from laws and regulations which delay, restrict or ban the development of technologies and oppose efforts that could make the internet a less vibrant platform for culture, commerce and competition.
