or as president obama first ftc chairman put it just yesterday, the planters for ftc jurisdiction is good for consumers. the sky isn't falling. consumers will remain protected, and the internet will continue to thrive. so let's be clear. following today's vote americans will still be able to access the website you want to visit. he will still be able to enjoy the services they want to enjoy. there will still be cops on the beat guarding a free and open internet. this is the way things were prior to 2015. this is the way they will be once again. >> breathless claims about unshackled broadband services from unnecessary regulation are only about ensuring that broadband internet service providers have and maintain the keys to the internet. assertions that this is merely a return to some imaginary status quo anti-cannot hand -- cannot hide the fact that this is a very first time that the federal communications commission has disavowed substantially protection for consumers online. and with the current 2015 net neutrality rules are laid to waste, we may be left with no single authority wit

the ftc has the ability to compete. no one's saying we should have lawless internet, the ftc and the state ag's and department of justice, all of them have quite robust power to protect consumers. we focus on the ftc because it is really the de facto technology division. they deal with problems as they come up. i always smile when people say, how will we protect consumers without specific rules on the books. >> the whole point of creating the ftc was to give them those broad standards they could apply case by case and build a common law over time to address those issues. i have my own criticisms of how the ftc works. no one, including me wants to tie the agency's hands. at most we're saying we should understand better how the agency works and make sure that it's building an effective common law, it should hold companies to their promises. prevent practices that harm consumers, and punish practices that injure competition. that approach again will be a back and forth between plaintiffs and defendants, both private plaint

the same is going to be true after our vote, with the ftc. the ftc has legal standards, precedence out there. i've walked through some of what they are. again just like the fcc would, the ftc can take enforcement action to ensure that consumers are protected. so again, i think that this is really a great moment for consumers. we're getting back to the same regime that governed for 20 years, a regime that had robust consumer protections, a regime that saw online providers, edge providers, launch and thrive, consumers benefit, consumers being protected, so this is not some sort of new experiment with an tiernly radical new free market approach. there's robust consumer protections in place. i'm really excited about it. again, this is a two-year detour that the fcc was ultimately pushed into as a senate commit founded through political pressure from the white house, who is not a place the senate committee found in terms of full title ii that the fcc was going to go based on its own independent judgment. i think it's great we're getting back to wh

as president obama's first ftc chair put it yesterday, the plan to restore ftc jurisdiction is good for consumers. the sky is not falling. consumers will remain protected and the internet will continue to thrive. let us be clear. following today's vote, americans will still be able to access the websites they want to visit. they will still be able to enjoy the services they want to enjoy. it will still be cops on the beat. this is the way things were prior to 2015. this is the way they will be, once again. our decisions today will also return parity to the economy. some silicon valley giants impose --vy-handed -- favor imposing heavy-handed regulations. they do not practice what they preach. hedge providers regularly rock -- block content they do not like. when you go online, do decide what news and search results you see? perhaps not. they regularly decide what you see and what you do not. many thrive on the business auto to place content in front of eyeballs. worse, there is no transparency into how decisions that appear inconsistent with an open internet are made. how does a company

we can focus on the ftc in my and my own core focus is on the ftc because that de facto federal technology commission. has broad authority to deal with new technologies how did they develop and to deal with new problems and i smile a little bit when people say how do we protect consumers without specific rules on the books? the whole point of creating the ftc was to give them the broad standards and they could apply case-by-case and to build a common law over time to address those issues. i have my own criticisms of how the ftc works. it is becoming more important as we talk about those processes but no one including me wants to tie the agency's hands. we are simply saying we should understand how the agency works and make sure it's building a defective common law but it absolutely should hold companies to their promises, for rent practices that harm consumers and stop texas is that harm competition that approach will be a back-and-forth between plaintiffs and defendants both private plaintiffs in government actors over time. we will deal with problems and importantly if we find there are

and the antitrust law and ftc can do that. >> actually they can. and ashley creates common law but again section three of the clayton act that is lessening competition that is the claim so they can act quickly because they did not have system of market failure. that is what is lacking under title ii since it -- to say systematic market failure. so i would call lit mother may i? so you go to present your case. can the market place experiment? there was a product that would not count against the data cap and then to start the investigation is very popular with the public and t. vogel says if you need those technical parameters and it will not count against consumers' bank accounts. but in the meantime with the mother may i there was the interruption of how this could happen it was a question that could have been. also when free internet service was offered to india but you cannot offer free internet service to the poorest of the board because that could violate because of the conviction with the markets and the analyst that spend all this money to bu

>> the ftc in a way has gone dark.nd i think that to be honest, that has given some confidence to the hospitality industry. perhaps they are going to be able to wait out or otherwise evade the efforts of the 47 states because the ftc is no longer our partner. >> reporter: you're saying the ftc has backed off? >> yes. >> reporter: backed off, he claims, during a crucial time in negotiations with the hotel chains. >> we were heading towards what i thought would be a pretty fair settlement, um -- >> really? >> yes. the election hit, and then all of a sudden, you know, the hospitality industry sort of dug in, um, against our position. >> reporter: we asked the ftc about racine's allegations. officials there responded with a statement saying the agency was never a co-plaintiff with the attorneys general but has worked with the industry and state ags to try to improve disclosures about resort fees. we asked the trump organization and the white house if they had any comment but got no response. anna werner, cbs news, new york

announcement at between the fcc and ftc and it instantly ran into controversy. a leading democrat, representative fopalone, called it worthless. i don't want to cast doubt on but this is a way to way hands with the ftc in a that critics say don't hold water. host: we spoke to tom wheeler, under whom net neutrality was passed. of consumerme protection, they say they will not protect consumers. in the name of better regulation, they say they will c, but aover to the ftv commissioner says that, even if they do that, they do not have any authority. they are running away from their responsibilities. have does the ftc authority or not here? guest: like everything else in this debate, yes and no. generally oppose the upcoming rejection of the rules and the acting chairwoman of the federal trade commission says we can do it, but there is a catch. the federal trade commission works after the fact and they go after companies for doing things that are unfair. the federal communications commission says you cannot do certain things. there is a forward-looking thing to the fc

the ftc can do nothing about it. what if an isp blocks speech it doesn't like? the ftc can do nothing about it. even more importantly, and this is something that really gets lost, there is a case right now pending in california in the ninth circuit court of appeals that would strip the fcc of all oversight over broadband even if chairman pai and the fcc reclassifies. this case is out there, it was brought by at&t interestingly enough. so even if chairman pai and his colleagues reclassify the ftc would not have horse over broadband -- authority over broadband if at&t wins this case, and it's still pending in the courts. let me talk a little bit about competition, if i might. chairman pai put out his own numbers about who has broadband internet access at the speeds that the fcc considers broadband internet access. and his numbers look like this: 58% of all census blocks have a choice of zero or one broadband internet access provider, 87% have a choice of two or less. and let me just say, when you measure by census bloc

emily: does the ftc have authority or not here? can we expect them to do this right? yes and no. the commissioner he referred to says we cannot quite do the job. thecrats in general oppose upcoming rejection of the rules and the acting chairwoman of the federal trade commission says we can do it, but there is a catch. the federal trade commission works after the fact and they go after companies for doing things that are unfair. the federal communications commission sets rules and says you cannot do certain things. there is a forward-looking thing to the fcc that would be absent from the ftc jurisdiction. however, proponents say that the prospect of being whacked by the ftc is enough incentive to make companies behave. emily: what does this say for big tex companies? bob: it is ironic that on the one hand you have the ftc wanted to block time warner for some of the reasons that net neutrality was designed for. on the other hand, they want to rulesd of net neutrality and this is a disconnected thing. if we are looking at how much of the traffic on the internet is video

the ftc and department of justice can act quickly. it did not because the claims did not come for, we do not have systemic rocket failure. that's one thing that was lacking in the 2015 order. were talking about before the fact regulation. to have to go to the ftc present your case, can i do this? can i affect the marketplace? , certainhad a product video would not count against your data cap. the ftc gave it a green light, then they decided they were not sure they wanted this. it was very popular. t-mobile said, if you meet these technical parameters, you are compressing your video in such a way, it will not count against consumer data caps. in the meantime, the mother may i, there was an interruption and how this could happen for months and months. it was a long time. also caught in a contagion internationally, three internet services in india, and we are not in india i realize, but you cannot offer free internet service to mother teresa's poorest of the poor because it violates these convictions. that's when it becomes unworkable. m

. >> the ftc in a way has gone dark. i think that to be honest that has given some confidence to the hospitality industry. perhaps, they're going to be able to wait out or otherwise evade the efforts of the 47 states because the ftc is no longer our partner. ba you're saying the ftc has a crucial time in negotiations with the hotel chain. >> we were heading towards what i thought would be a pretty fair settlement. >> really? >> yeah. the election hit, and then all of a sudden you know, the hospitality industries would have dug in against our position. >> we asked the ftc about his allegations, officials there responded with a statement saying the agency was never a coplaintiff with the attorney's general, but has worked with the industry and state ag's to improve disclosures about resort fees. we asked the trump administration and the white house if they had comment, but we didn't receive a respond. >>> a health alert, the flu season is starting to hit its peak. the center for disease control and prevention says up to 65

but the ftc is not the expert agency for communications. it has authority over unfair and deceptive practices, but to invade ftc review, all any broadband provider will need to do is add the provisions to the fine print in its terms of service. in addition, it is both costly and impractical to report difficulties to the ftc. by the time they get around to addressing them in court proceedings, it is fair to assume that the startups and small businesses wrestling with discriminatory treatment could be long gone. moreover, what little authority the ftc has is now under question in the courts. we are told, don't worry. state authorities will save us. but at the same time, the ftc all but clears the field with sweeping preemptions of anything that resembles state or local consumer protection. substance that got us to this point is bad, the process is even worse. let's talk about the public record. let's talk about the public record. the public has been making noise speaking up, raising a ruckus. we see it in the protest, those outside today, and

wheeler: i think the ftc is a fine organization populated by good public servants.roblem is that their statute does not give them nearly as much authority as the fcc has, and they are not an expert agency like the ftc is. since 1934, the fcc has been created by the congress and charged with the responsibility of overseeing the important networks of the nation. for the first time since 1934, with this decision, the fcc is washing its hands, walking away from the congressionally mandated responsibility and they are only doing it for the most important network that will define the rest of the 21st century. it is inconceivable kind of action. emily: let's take comcast for example. which is set it will not violate net neutrality rules once revealed. -- repealed. a spokesperson for comcast singing any reporting that we are prepared to have prioritization is inaccurate. do you trust that given they were one of the companies that bought for years against it? mr. wheeler: one is if they have no problem with it then why are they against the rules? secondly is, let's look at h

the ftc will now be in a position to enforce those promises.dy.e begin with chris lewis, you get the final word. randy described the rollback. it is now left to transparency of promises by internet service providers. when they choose to change their policies, there is no one to hold them back from blocking and throttling content. we've already seen them start to do this. what randy just described. instead of saying they will not engage in paid prioritization, they talk about harmful prioritization. they are easing it in so folks don't notice they are changing practices. we will continue to see this now that the rules has gone away. it is important congress acts. i hope people contact congress to turn -- to overturn this. host: we want to thank christopher lewis of public knowledge, and randy may of the free state foundation. we appreciate your time and your perspectives. thank you for being with us. host: up next, the tax bill making its way through the senate and the house. last-minute hurdles, what it potentially means for you. ,oseph is foll

day ftc oversight will not work and chairman by says he has another solution called transparency that i espy's are transparent of their neutrality practices that consumers and businesses can simply choose to use of broadband provider with neutrality. but what good is transparency when most americans have little or no choice for high-speed broad band access? 62 percent of americans have only one choice for the nearly two-thirds of the country who can purchase broadband. so that means if a household only choice is a transparent than the consumer has two choices. except the internet service providers choice for live without the internet that is a false choice. people do not want to live without the internet in the 21st century. so now chairman pai also claims isp support net neutrality but just not be open internet type under which we are living today to say you support democracy but not the constitution you like math but you hate numbers for gore makes no sense. fighting at the fcc in the courts to block the neutrality rules. the broad band is deeply opposed to net neutrality because th

. >> two years ago the title ii stripped the ftc jurisdiction of broadband providers but today we putthe nation back on the beat the fcc will once again have the authority to take action against internet service providers that engage in competitive unfair or deceptive acts ftc chairman said the ability to protect consumers with the broadband industry is not something new. we have a long-established role to observe the value that consumers care about online. president obama's first fcc fcc chairman said the plan to restore jurisdiction is good for consumers consumers will remain protected and the internet will continue to thrive. following today's vote americans can still access the websites they want to visit and enjoy the services they want to enjoy there will still be cops on the beat carting the free and open internet this is the way they were in the way they will be once again. >> the claims of un- shackling services from unnecessary regulation only ensures that the broadband was providers maintain the keys to the internet the assertion that this is merely a return to the status q

the ftc is an agency that does not play in this space when it comes to utility or telecommunications providers. these are the same providers that give us internet access. if you don't have any experience or if you don't have the authority, which the ftc does not i believe, then who is there to protect you. and so that memorandum or understanding that agreement was an afterthought. >> woodruff: finally, this vote is expected the happen on thursday, it's expected the chairman is going to prevail, he's got the majority. but once that happens, they're going to be court challenges. do you expect this is going to go on for some time? >> i do, which will create uncertainty in the market. we have a system that is the envy of every other country in the world. why break it? why cause disruption? why? >> woodruff: fcc commissioner mignon clyburn, thank you very much. >> my pleasure. >> woodruff: this week marks a somber anniversary: the mass shooting at an elementary school in newtown, connecticut. in the five years since, many of the parents who lost their children that day have been pushing t

fcc, ftc. federal trade commission. they are tough on anti competitive practices.ity just means they will stop micromanaging the internet. but that is not true. it means that big business will be allowed to micromanage it. how is that going to be good for the consumer? bear in mind, nothing is set in stone. we feel it doesn't take effect until next year. it could be stopped by courts or by congress. all right. there are the facts. wake up. >> thank you, chris, for explaining that in excellent detail. so let's bring in our media experts to talk about it. brian stelter host of reliable sources. and the hot fudge. we will skip to dessert. here's how the late night comics framed it. >> fcc voted 3-2 to repeal obama air era net neutrality. if you don't know what that means, google it while you can. >> if you're watching the show right now online right now i just want to remind you that -- >> thank you, president trump. thanks to you and this jack hole you appointed to run the fcc, big corporations are about to take full control of the internet. so merry christmas, every

that is the basis upon which, if they violate those practices, the ftc will be able to sanction it. steve: both of our guests have worked at the fcc, so they come at this from very different perspectives. christopher lewis is a graduate of harvard, the former deputy director for legislative affairs. our phone lines are open. frank in fort lauderdale, florida, on the line for republicans. thank you for waiting. i'm concerned about the present censorship on the internet. i have been censored about four times in the last year. just last night i was censored again. i raised a question about any collusion between the pro-democratic people at the fbi in the seth rich murder case, send my would not tweets on the subject matter. the more i worked up to the final question, they still haven't sent the final two. steve: what sites were you on frank? guest: i'm just hoping that under the new system there won't be censorship. steve: thanks for the call. will there be censorship on the larger issue of what people can or cannot post? >> i think it is real important about who the net neutrality rul

we said the federal trade commission, the ftc, will be the one to protect you.id not tell you is that the fcc doesn't have real clear authority, and the ftc can only help you after a harm is done. so if you can prove that it's unfair or deceptive, then the ftc can protect you. but it's not deceptive if i've disclosed, and who knows what the definition of fair will be going forward. >> given what a huge role the internet plays at this point in all of our lives, have you asked fcc chairman aji pi about that video he made for the daily caller? yes, you're seeing the deejay shake take action, but he's in that video with a woman who is involved in spreading the pizzagate conspiracy, and this is the man who is the chairman of the fcc. have you had a conversation with him about it? >> i have not. i saw the still, but i only saw the video this morning. i would just say this. he has the freedom to express himself, number one, and i wish i were as happy as i see him in that video. i am not happy because i know the consumers that want, expect openness and inclusiveness ove

host: let's take a look at what senator schumer is calling for from the ftc with a report from the "newpost." schumer said it is unclear what companies, like ancestry dna, do with all the data they collect from hair or saliva samples that clients, eager to know if they are 20% cherokee or have a genetic marker for a certain disease, send in. many do not realize that their sensitive information may end up in the hands of many third-party companies. schumer said in a press conference in manhattan on sunday, "there is no point in learning about your family tree if your privacy gets chopped down at the same time." he is calling for an investigation of the makers. they have ramped up their marketing for the holidays. we have seen a lot of sales and ads about these things, people billing them is holiday familyor friends and members to what would the ftc do if they choose to look into this? think schumer is on the right track, but respectfully, he is slightly off. you have no privacy when it comes to the tester when you send in the test and submit to the terms, you have waived all of your priv

the ftc is the nation's premier consumer protection agency.y have been prohibited in the last two years because of the fcc's title ii decision. consumers are gaining protection as a result of this decision. this is not going to be a situation where there are no rules in place. emily: comcast has said they will not invoke paid prioritization, but let's say they do. what will happen in that case? part of what has happened here is a misperception of what title ii did. right now, title ii does not stop providers from blocking websites, creating fast or slow lanes. the paid prioritization you talk about. there are reasons why that stuff is not taking place today. it is market forces regulating that conduct. after our decision, those forces stay in place. i know a lot of people do not believe in market forces, and that is fine. there is positive law we are putting in place too. ,there is also antitrust law. it prevents isps from entering agreements that unfairly block throttle or would create anti-competitive paid prioritization. there will be rules

it outlines why the ftc continues to do a great job.t was kicked off because of legal court of february 2015. now,it is back and it manages competitions and serves of a high-tech in complex yaarea of r economy. they had 670 lawyers. what they do is they go around the economy looking for anticompetitive behaviors and sued companies. they sued at&t and comcast and they had 500 violations against other types of companies. it is a big huge public interest law enforcement and doj involved in the space as well. there is a lawsuit involving and merging at&t. they are looking at these things as well. that's what works so well and gave us this beautifully blossom internet marketing place for 2015. >> it is a difficult subject to follow. i am happy to have you here because i thought a guy who was appointed by both w and obama can present it in a non partisan way. >> robert, thank you so much for your time. >>> lets see your reaction on smerconish's twitter and what do we have? >> how is net neutrality a par san issue when 80% of the people want t

brought to a head until the december 2010 net neutrality open internet neutrality was ordered on by the ftc. >> and antitrust case takes years to come to fruition. there is precedent that actually makes it harder for the public to bring these kind of cases. >> antitrust gets into competition. but they are a startup and you can't afford to go into the fast lane. if your investors are saying were not going to invest in you unless you can get in the fast lane, unless people can see you, you don't have time for an antitrust case to wind its way through the court. you are going to be dead meat. this is why rules are so important because rules moderate bad behavior. they let consumers know their rights and they protect consumers and competition before they're harmed. the fcc and antitrust law can't do that. >> actually can, but let's go to the premise. >> what it does is you create common law but section three of the clayton act actually prevents, it's against it to do exactly what you just said which is your lessening competition. the fcc and apartment justice can actually act quickly but they d
