Common Sense Media Statement on FCC Ruling
On June 27, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Universal Service Fund (USF), a program that has been crucial in making broadband affordable for low-income households, schools, libraries, and rural communities since 1996. Common Sense Media's Head of Tech Policy Advocacy, Amina Fazlullah, expressed relief and highlighted the ruling as a victory for families and communities relying on affordable broadband for education, work, and healthcare. The statement encourages lawmakers and the FCC to strengthen the USF to meet the evolving needs of families in the digital age.
