“We cannot predict how technology will change in the future, just like no one predicted Meta 20 years ago. That is why this bill gives the commission the flexibility to make its own decisions, while still following the clear goals we set for it.”
“Mr. Speaker, as I mentioned in my speech, there will always be factors that we cannot foresee, and I believe it is important to allow the commission to exercise its judgment. As I noted, 20 years ago, no one could have predicted what Meta would become. Likewise, we cannot know what platforms and technologies will look like in five, 10 or 20 years. For that reason, I believe it is important to provide the commission with a degree of flexibility. That said, the principles and objectives that will guide its work have now been clearly established, and that is what matters most.”
