A Republican on the Federal Communications Commission claimed that municipal broadband networks pose a unique threat to First Amendment free speech rights—but provided no compelling evidence to back his claim.

FCC Commissioner Michael O'Rielly made his claim in a speech last week at the Media Institute's "Free Speech America" event. (Motherboard wrote about O'Rielly's speech yesterday, and the FCC posted a transcript.)
