F.C.C. Votes to Restore Net Neutrality Rules

My stories sit at the intersection of technology, policy and politics. These days, that includes the road toward regulation of artificial intelligence, federal action against tech giants for antitrust and consumer abuses, and the tech war between the U.S. and China.
I’ve been writing about technology for about two decades. I coauthored “An Ugly Truth: Inside Facebook’s Battle For Domination,” published in 2021, with my colleague, Sheera Frenkel. Before joining The Times, I was the senior technology reporter at The Washington Post. I also covered technology for the San Jose Mercury News. I was part of a team of Times reporters honored with the George Polk and Loeb awards.
As a Times journalist, I share the values and adhere to the standards of integrity outlined in The Times’s Ethical Journalism handbook. I don’t own any individual stocks in any companies. I don’t accept monetary or other gifts from companies or people who might fit into my reporting.
