Jeb Bush, former Florida governor, is running for presidency in the 2016 elections, but in as early as now is getting a hot seat on a lot of issues. Bush, a likely 2016 Republican presidential candidate, commented on FCC's recent net neutrality over the weekend, The Hill said.
A month prior, he revealed Florida residents' social security number and email addresses online because of his "transparency" campaign; however, expressed intentions of undoing it.
In a statement at the Iowa's Cedar Rapids Pizza Ranch, Bush publicly criticized President Obama's opinion regarding internet regulation and said that it will just stifle innovation and competition.
"The idea of regulating access to the internet with a 1934 law is one of the craziest ideas I've ever heard," he said.
This is the former Governor's first time to announce his stance on net neutrality, responding to the FCC's most recent decision on protecting the Internet with "Title II" regulation.
The "Open Internet Order" will hamper tiered internet through prohibiting paid speed throttling, site blocking, and fast lanes.
Apparently, the presidential candidate's comments were similar to what broadband providers and the Republicans think about the matter, saying that "net neutrality" will give the government sole autonomy over the Internet.
The Republicans in the Congress have reacted in the same manner back in 1934 when the former President Roosevelt passed the "Title II" of the "Communications Act," the New York Times reported.
The FCC has not released the full text of its net neutrality policies, terms and conditions.
