it's easy we can do it right now with the federal trade commission. tomorrow i'm chairing a hearing of the subcommittee a lead in appropriations. we will have the chairman of the fcc and the chairman of the ftc sit down for a two hour conversation, i'm sure much of it will be an issue of net neutrality. my encouragement is for those to listen and to get the facts that the emotion network google and facebook and netflix are telling you what to think because they're competing against the other guys. we believe the facts on the table. something needs to be handled with new regulations i would be happy to engage. i think the internet needs the lightest touch possible. i don't see why we need to get in the business of free speech. let's keep the internet open, free, fair and not block content. but let's not jump between mega companies. let's keep it open and stay out of the business of telling businesses how to run their business. i yield back.

provider based on the fcc's ruling this transparency role then there is a partnership with the federal trade commission can command and they have full of 40 to take enforcement action if there's a violation of the transparency will. more broadly, the federal trade commission has a broad set of authorities and they are really the nation's expert when it comes to edification of consumer harm, so there is anti- competitive conduct that violates the antitrust law or violates ftc law the federal trade commission is empowered to step in and take action. >> commissioner carr, what did you think of mark zuckerberg on the hill in his testimony? >> i think what it stresses is out passionately consumers feel about privacy and the use of their data. i think it's a good thing if consumers can continue to learn how their data is used whether it's we call it as provider, facebook in this case where an isp i think consumers have a strong interest in making sure their data is used consistent with expectations. >> with the european privacy rules going into effect, could you see those over here? >> 's are on. about priva

based on the fcc rule now introduce me as a will there's a partnership for the federal trade commission can come in and have full authority to take enforcement action if there's a violation of the transparency rule and more probably than that the commission has about that of authorities and their the nation's expert when it comes to indication of consumer harm and there is anti- competitive contract violates the antitrust law or the fcc lost in the federal trade commission is about to step in and take action with respect to that. >> host: commissioner carr, did you think of mark socha burke up on the hill and his testimony? >> i think what it underscores is how passionately they feel about privacy and the use of their data and it's a good thing if consumers can continue to learn how the data is being used whether it's we call an edge provider, facebook or isp. i think consumers have a strong interest in making sure their data has been used consistent with expectations. >> host: with the european roles going into that could you see those over here? >> guest: it certainly possible. one of

. >> from the federal trade commission, we can work the legal calls on the federal trade commission act and it's a discreet set of rules that govern telemarketing -- that are a part of the telemarketing sales role to prohibit virtually all robocalls unless the consumer has given express, written permission to that seller to receive a robocall. now -- and this is a tighter regulatory scheme than the do not call scheme because the consumer does not have to be on the national do not call registry for the robocall to be illegal, but i think a real difference between the fcc's regulatory scheme and the ftc is the definition of what is telemarketing. for us, with the federal trade commission it has to be the sale of the good or product or the solicitation of a donation. informational calls are not covered. so when michelle and kevin gave the example of the school call and the doctor's office call. those are not telemarketing under the federal trade commission's rule and one difference on scope of coverage. calls that you sound board technology or avatar technology which we often see used for

i just want to underscore from the federal trade commission. the definition of telemarketing is different so that the school calls, the doctor calls, are not telemarketing -- are not robocalls. they're not illegal for purposes of the federal trade commission act and i think that really is an important distinction. that's not where we're doing any law enforcement and nor would we and the ftc also doesn't distinguish between a call to a wire line or a wireless one. those are just not relevant distinctions. i think the world of industry robocalls that are legitimate, really, is a fairly narrow slice and this is something i've talked to p.a.c.e. about. and the ftc has no interest whatsoever in chilling that world. but i do think it is a relatively narrow set of the unwanted and illegal robocalls that are being placed. >> i think that's right. and that's certainly what we -- that tracks with what we see on -- from the fcc's side as well. to add to this, to the extent that the fcc -- the tcpa could potentially draw in more than, say, the most abusive

the federal trade commission. here's what i'd like to say to people that are trying to listen and trying to figure this out. most of the arguments and the fights that have come about, costs increases and about pay prioritization and about blocking and about people monitoring content hasn't been from the internet service providers. it's been from the content folks. you tell me, when you go to you news feed and whateve media site you go to, whatever news site you go to, are there the paid commercials that come up first and then your friends that come up second? probably most of the time. are there certain bits of content that you pay more for in you're on facebook? you can put this out but you'll reach more people if you pay for it? yes. but that's not net neutrality. the argument about net neutrality doesn't have anything to do with those content folks. it's about the internet service providers. so why do i bring this up? here's what's happened. over the past two years america has been drawn into a fight between tw

very clear set of rules than two years ago, the fcc, now the ftc the federal trade commission now the fcc regulates theat internet, over two decades the fcc decides they wanted to regulate not the content with the internet service providers adjust the internet service provider so the fcc in an unprecedented ruling that it already had gone to court multiple timesed and failed grabbed the regulatory control and said we will take theet isps and manage them and you can keep the content people. that is the fight we're in right now. it is the funniest thing to be in conversation about net neutrality because the implication is the internet is not free if the government does not regulate it with the fcc. when i asked people if it is okay if theul government regulatedpl most people say that's fine too. good. that's the way it has been 20 years. for 20 years there was one set of rules for the internet through the ftc. that's i like to say for people to try to figure this out most of the arguments that have come about as a cost increase and paid prior to her station and blocking and people monit

if this resolution were to be enacted, which it won't, but if it were, it would take the federal trade commission which currently regulates and polices privacy issues completely out of the question. congress still needs to set long-term protections for the internet. it should not delay. the significant harm of uncertainty inflicted on the internet will manifest itself to stifle investments innovation over time. that is just a simple fact of the matter. after all of the new rules approved under the trump administration, closely followed those that long regulated the internet before 2015 and largely, not completely, in effect now. that's one thing i want to continue to hammer. what were talking about is the rules in place for first two decades of the internet. for the first two decades we operated under a light touch approach. it prosper, flourish, grew, expanded, innovated to the point where it has become a huge economic engine in our economy. what was the 2015 fcc ruling designed to solve? that is a good question. the fact is, what the fcc is proposing to do, and will do on june 11 of this year,
