Biden signs executive order targeting right to repair, ISPs, net neutrality, and more

President Joe Biden has signed an executive order meant to promote competition - with technology directly in the crosshairs.

The order, which the White House outlined earlier this morning, calls on US agencies like the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to implement 72 specific provisions. The topics include restoring net neutrality provisions repealed during the prior administration, codifying right to repair" rules, and increasing scrutiny of tech monopolies.

Good intentions, but these are just executive orders - not actual bills that can withstand the test of time. I understand executive orders are the best the US can get with its broken and gridlocked political system, but it's simply not enough - the next president can just wipe them off the desk.
