Obama advisor wants to regulate industry “to an inch of their life” – The anti-capitalist and pro-Internet regulation group Free Press held its annual conference in Boston this past weekend. On a panel composed exclusively of Democratic government officials, former White House technology adviser Susan Crawford said that the FCC’s net neutrality rules did not go far enough in regulating telecom companies, because “unfortunately the world where regulating these guys into an inch of their life is exactly what needs to happen.” During the same panel, an advisor for Rep. Nancy Pelosi gave voice to the liberal fear that reforming the FCC “could lead to the decimation of the agency.”
