i2Coalition Internet Infrastructure Policy Report: October 2025

Your update on important Internet policy issues

OUTLOOK

Bipartisan Congressional leaders failed to reach an agreement by midnight on October 1 to pass a Continuing Resolution (CR) to keep the federal government operating. By month’s end, the shutdown had continued into a fourth week, with most federal government operations shuttered except for those deemed essential. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) ceased legislative activity in the House after the shutdown commenced, but the Senate remained in session and continued working. Throughout October, Senate Democrats held fast to their position that they would not vote to pass a CR to fund the federal government unless the measure included provisions to address several key policy priorities, particularly the maintenance of health care tax credits. Senate Republicans countered that they would negotiate with Senate Democrats on those priorities only after a CR was passed. Amidst the deepening stalemate in Congress, President Trump focused substantially on foreign policy, visiting the Middle East in mid-October to celebrate a U.S.-brokered ceasefire and hostage release agreement in the Gaza conflict. He later traveled to Asia to meet with top leaders, including Chinese President Xi Jinping. Upon returning from Asia on October 30, President Trump reported that the U.S. had reached a major one-year trade agreement with China that would ease tensions and result in overall tariffs on Chinese goods dropping by 10%, coupled with progress on soybean imports, rare earths and fentanyl issues. In addition, plans for a visit by President Trump to Beijing in April 2026 were announced.

TECH POLICY PRIORITIES 

Intermediary Liability/Content Moderation. On October 29, the Senate Commerce Committee held its second hearing on “jawboning” with witness testimony from Google and Meta executives. The hearing centered on the Biden administration’s efforts pressuring social media companies to take down COVID-19 and election misinformation. On October 21, Senators Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), John Cornyn (R-TX), and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) introduced bipartisan legislation–the Safe Cloud Storage Act–which would provide limited liability protections to law enforcement-approved vendors who store and transfer child sexual abuse material (CSAM) to assist in investigations of child sexual exploitation.

Federal Privacy. While the Republican-led House Energy and Commerce Privacy Working Group is working to release draft legislative text on federal comprehensive data privacy and security by the end of the year, it is unclear if the process will take more time due to House legislative inactivity during the federal government shutdown. The Senate version of the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) now has more than 60 co-sponsors. The House Energy and Commerce Committee reportedly plans to hold a hearing on online child safety after the federal government shutdown ends.

Copyright/IP. The Supreme Court scheduled oral arguments for December 1 in the Cox v. Sony contributory copyright infringement case. Professors at the State University of New York filed a class action lawsuit in a California federal district court, arguing that the defendant Apple committed copyright infringement by using pirated books to train its AI models.

Antitrust/Competition. The federal government shutdown is affecting some federal court activity in major antitrust cases involving large technology companies. The antitrust cases against Google and Meta continued in October. Cases against Amazon and Apple, however, were paused due to the shutdown. The Senate Commerce Committee is planning to hold a future FTC oversight hearing.

Broadband. The FCC has continued some operations during the federal government shutdown, albeit with reduced staffing levels. The Senate Commerce Committee plans to hold an FCC oversight hearing in the coming weeks. The Commerce Department’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is working on a plan to speed up the BEAD program permitting process.

Intermediary Liability/Content Moderation

Senate: Commerce Committee Jawboning Hearings – The Senate Commerce Committee held a hearing on Oct. 8 entitled “Shut Your App: How Uncle Sam Jawboned Big Tech Into Silencing Americans.” This hearing explored government agencies’ role in pressuring tech companies to censor American speech and potential legislative responses. Witnesses included Eugene Volokh (UCLA School of Law), Alex Berenson (Unreported Truths), and Sean Davis (The Federalist). The hearing followed up on Chairman Cruz’s (R-TX) report on censorship from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) during the Biden administration, which coincidentally has been Homeland Committee Chair Paul’s major point of contention in reauthorizing the directorate’s Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015 (CISA 2015) program, which expired Sept. 30. Then on Oct. 29 the Senate Commerce Committee held a second hearing on jawboning with witness testimony from Google and Meta. Chair Cruz indicated at the hearing that he is drafting language for a bill – the Justice Against Weaponized Bureaucratic Outreach to Network Expression (JAWBONE) Act – which aims to address government jawboning by providing a cause of action for users to sue the government when they are being censored by the government.

Senate: Bipartisan Safe Cloud Storage Act Introduced – On Oct. 21, U.S. Senators Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), John Cornyn (R-TX), and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) introduced bipartisan legislation–the Safe Cloud Storage Act–related to child exploitation law enforcement. The bill would provide limited liability protections to law enforcement-approved vendors who store and transfer child sexual abuse material (CSAM) to assist in investigations of child sexual exploitation.

EU & Tech: Meta and TikTok in Violation of the DSA – The European Commission released a report that found Meta and TikTok breached their legal obligations to grant researchers enough access to publish data and made it difficult for users to flag illegal content. The EU claims these companies violated the Digital Services Act’s (DSA) essential transparency guidelines. Meta claims they did not violate the DSA, while TikTok claimed it is committed to transparency. These companies now have an opportunity to remedy their breaches before being imposed with a fine.

i2Coalition’s Perspective – In the 119th Congress, the i2Coalition will continue to build on its record of educating policymakers about the complexities of the Section 230 debate and threats posed to the entire Internet ecosystem beyond the largest tech social media platforms if uninformed legislation is adopted or legal cases are wrongly decided. In 2023, the i2Coalition joined other prominent tech trade associations in a letter and related efforts directed to the Senate Judiciary Committee to oppose the ill-advised, re-introduced EARN IT Act. In 2024, the I2Coalition joined numerous tech trade associations and civil society groups in a letter to Congressional leaders expressing strong support for The Invest in Child Safety Act, which would directly give law enforcement authorities more resources to battle online child predators and would provide support to victims and their families. The i2Coalition continues to build on its collaboration with key allies in the library and higher education communities to promote a full understanding of the scope of Section 230. The i2Coalition filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in Gonzalez v. Google on Jan. 18, 2023, to advance the Court’s accurate understanding of the scope and impact of Section 230’s immunity protections for Internet intermediary providers. On May 21, 2024, the i2Coalition led in sending to Congress a broad affected stakeholders letter signed by ten organizations to express strong opposition to the House Energy and Commerce Committee bipartisan leaders’ draft bill to sunset Section 230 by December 31, 2025. In the 119th Congress, the i2Coalition will also continue to inform and educate policymakers if misplaced enforcement and procedural approaches to other online problems are proposed.

Privacy

Texas: CCIA Sues the State of Texas for App Store Age Verification Law – The Computer & Communications Industry Association (CCIA) asked a federal judge to block the Texas App Store Accountability Act, which is set to be enacted at the start of 2026. The law requires that mobile app stores verify users’ ages and obtain parental approval for every app that users under 18 download. CCIA cited both censorship and privacy concerns in the complaint. The onus to determine a path forward on kids’ safety and age verification is falling on the states, and this case adds to the mounting pressure for the federal government to act.

New York: Lawsuit Against Social Media Companies – New York City recently filed a lawsuit against Facebook, Google (YouTube), Snapchat, TikTok, and other online platforms for addicting children to social media. Nationwide, governments, school districts, and individuals are bringing similar lawsuits against these companies, but New York City is one of the largest plaintiffs: including schools, healthcare systems, and about 1.8 million underage kids. The complaint seeks damages from these companies, blaming them for children’s compulsive use of the platforms, harms to their mental health, and the emboldening of dangerous behavior.

California Progresses on Kids’ Safety – California Governor Newsom signed multiple state tech bills into law in October on chatbots, AI transparency, and age verification. Of note is a bill that would require device manufacturers to verify the age of users and share that information with app developers. Social media platforms Google and Meta supported the bill while the Motion Picture Association (MPA) opposed it. The MPA argued that the bill would interfere with safeguards for streaming content while making interfaces more difficult to navigate. Given the consensus from “Big Tech” on this bill, it could pave the way for a federal age verification bill. It also complicates the path to pass a federal moratorium on state AI regulation.

i2Coalition’s Perspective – i2Coalition works closely with U.S. policymakers to educate about and maximize understanding of the business impacts of privacy and data collection legislation and regulation affecting the technology sector in the U.S. and globally. For example, on Oct. 6, 2022, in Washington, and on Dec. 6 in Brussels, the i2Coalition and eco hosted timely webinars on the status of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, with panelists from government, industry, and civil society. The i2Coalition will continue to follow EU-US efforts on transatlantic data flows policy making and engage with the responsible U.S. Department of Commerce officials and staff and with our EU allies and partners. In the 119th Congress, we will continue to focus on presenting substantive updates and educational resources to Congress and federal policymakers about the work we are doing and the progress being made with ICANN and NTIA on the development of a sound, workable global access model for domain name registration data meeting the requirements of the GDPR and federal and state laws, and the needs of law enforcement agencies. In Congress and before the Administration, we will continue to emphasize the need to combine enhanced privacy policies with the ability to deploy strong encryption, unencumbered by backdoors, as primary tools we leverage to keep people safe online.

Copyright/IP 

SCOTUS: Cox v. Sony Music Dec. 1 Oral Arguments – The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments in the ongoing legal battle between Cox Communications and Sony Music on December 1. At the heart of the controversy is an effort spearheaded by Cox to overturn a 4th Circuit Appellate Court decision that affirmed a billion-dollar judgment against the company. Since granting review, the Supreme Court has received numerous amicus briefs on the matter – 20 in support of Cox, including one submitted by the United States government.

Federal Courts: Lawsuit Against Apple for Copyright Infringement – Professors at the State University of New York filed a class action complaint in a California federal district court, arguing that Apple committed copyright infringement by using pirated books to train its AI models. The plaintiffs asserted that Apple used unauthorized copies of their works without approval and payment. The complaint cited the recent decision in Bartz v. Anthropic, which found the use of pirated work illegal and resulted in a large settlement from Anthropic.

Courts: Former USPTO Director Files Amicus Brief to Overturn Settled Expectations Rule – Former U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) Director Katherine Vidal filed an amicus brief on behalf of Cambridge Industries, arguing that the USPTO overstepped its authority by creating a “settled expectations” rule to deny patent reviews for older patents. The brief says the rule lacks statutory authority, was adopted without notice-and-comment rulemaking or economic analysis, and chills innovation and competition by protecting older, and often invalid, patents from review. The amicus brief pushes the court to strike down the rule, which they argue favors patent trolls.

i2Coalition’s Perspective – i2Coalition will continue to actively fight for the preservation of Section 512 safe harbors of the DMCA that its members have relied upon, including particularly the conduit provisions, to launch and operate their businesses successfully without being deluged with litigation threats. We will work to educate policymakers to ensure balanced intellectual property policy outcomes for our members. In addition, the i2Coalition will engage through outreach, dialogue, and the public comments process in any future Canadian copyright consultations to urge continuity of balanced approaches in consideration of any reforms of Canada’s safe harbor framework for online intermediaries.

Cybersecurity 

CISA 2015: Mounting Pressure on Reauthorization – There was no progress made in October on reauthorizing the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act, which lapsed after September 30. Without the liability protections, the private sector, which controls a majority of critical infrastructure and communications services, is less likely to share crucial cyber threat information with the government.

• Industry, most of Congress, and the administration strongly support reauthorization, but Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (HSGAC) Chair Paul (R-KY) remains opposed. Senator Gary Peters (D-MI), with Senator Mike Rounds (R-SD) introduced another 10-year reauthorization bill– with a tweak – making the liability protections under the original law retroactive to cover the lapse. The bill also has a new title – The Protecting America from Cyber Threats (PACT) Act – to avoid future confusion over the name of the law and the name of the federal cybersecurity agency that implements it (The Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency – CISA). Sen. Peters has repeatedly tried to bring the strongly bipartisan bill up for passage by unanimous consent, but Sen. Paul continues to block it.
• The administration is increasing pressure to act, with National Cyber Director Sean Cairncross emphasizing support for a clean, 10-year CISA reauthorization. Senate Majority Leader Thune (R-SD) has initiated a process to potentially bypass HSGAC and bring the measure directly to the Senate floor, though that vote is expected to occur after the federal government shutdown ends due to the amount of floor time required.

i2Coalition’s Perspective – As policymakers’ concerns and efforts intensify regarding how to improve cybersecurity and guard against growing attacks and threats, i2Coalition has increased its monitoring of this area. We will continue to engage in targeted policy matters and proceedings where the i2Coalition’s participation can enhance understanding and support improvements. In this regard, on November 14, 2022, the i2Coalition filed comments with CISA in response to the RFI on CIRCIA implementation. The i2Coalition also filed comments regarding proposed rules to implement CIRCIA on July 3, 2024. On March 3, 2023, the i2Coalition filed comments on NIST’s Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 Concept Paper. On November 6, 2023, the i2Coalition filed comments on the public draft of NIST’s Cybersecurity Framework 2.0. The i2Coalition filed extensive comments on April 29, 2024, opposing poorly drafted rule proposals in the Department of Commerce Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) “Know Your Customer” rulemaking and has teamed with our tech industry colleagues to urge reconsideration by the Department.

Antitrust/Competition

DOJ: Google’s Ad Tech Case Update – After two weeks of questioning witnesses in the case of Google’s illegal monopoly in advertising, the hearing concluded in October. The DOJ proposed that Google sell its ad exchange system, which connects buyers and sellers of ad space. Google said that the DOJ’s proposal would harm publishers and advocated for a lessened punishment – to make its ad system work better with competitors’ products and make it easier for publishers to use rivals’ tools in combination with its own. Both sides will offer closing arguments in November and the judge is expected to make a final decision in the next couple of months.

Courts: Shutdown Pauses Two of the Four Big Tech Antitrust Cases – The antitrust cases against Google and Meta, which are both near resolution, will continue during the government shutdown. The Google ad market monopoly case has been addressing remedies and the trial in Meta’s acquisition of Instagram recently began remedies discussions. However, the cases against Amazon, which alleges that it prioritized its own products in its online store, and against Apple, which alleges that it has a monopoly in the smartphone market, were paused. The federal judiciary announced that courts will stay open at least through October 17, but a longer shutdown could push back these trials, which are already not scheduled until the beginning of 2027.

i2Coalition’s Perspective – i2Coalition monitors but has not actively engaged on this issue.

Tax/Trade

IRS: Tax Brackets/Reconciliation – The IRS announced in October new federal income tax brackets for 2026. There has been intermittent chatter among legislators about a second reconciliation bill, but odds remain low. House Speaker Johnson continues to solicit ideas, but the federal government shutdown has slowed down this process.

Trump Administration Tariffs Updates – Prior to his Asia trip at the end of October, President Trump announced new, punitive 100% tariffs on China to go into effect by Nov. 1, this time in retaliation for China’s new rules surrounding the exporting of its rare-earth minerals. The markets didn’t take that news well, as the S&P 500 dropped nearly 3 percentage points. Trump later softened his tone, writing on Truth Social that “all will be fine” and Chinese President Xi Jinping “doesn’t want Depression for his country, and neither do I.” The market rebounded by 1.5%. Then upon returning from Asia at the end of the month, the President reported that the U.S. and China had reached a trade agreement that had eased tensions, lowered tariffs, and made progress on issues including soybean imports, rare earths, and fentanyl concerns.

U.S.- Australia Technology Prosperity Deal – The United States and Australia are forging a historic partnership to drive innovation, economic growth, and technological leadership through strategic investments and collaborative initiatives. As part of a broader package of critical minerals, defense, and space agreements, the two nations agreed to develop and launch a bilateral Technology Prosperity Deal to establish joint initiatives to cooperate and invest in AI, quantum, and other critical technologies.

Trump Administration: Additional Canadian Tariffs – On Oct. 25, President Trump announced a new 10% tariff on Canadian goods driven by his anger over a television ad that used audio of former President Ronald Reagan denouncing tariffs. The President had earlier indicated a termination of trade talks with Canada. Canada’s Prime Minister Carney is reportedly seeking to downplay the tension over trade.

i2Coalition’s Perspective – i2Coalition continues to work for balanced trade agreements that foster digital trade, and we generally support efforts to put trade with China on a more level footing. We support the global digital trade principles articulated in the global industry letter to the G20. We will continue our engagement with USTR in support of those principles and against non-tariff trade barriers. The i2Coalition will also continue our work with our EU-based members on the DSA, DMA, and the NIS2 Directive toward balanced and transparent regulations, including providing input on major relevant U.S. policy discussions having an impact on evolving global intermediary liability principles (e.g., the Section 230 debate in the U.S. Congress). The i2Coalition will continue to underscore and educate USTR officials in the Special 301 proceedings about the key point that USTR should not confuse “notorious markets” with neutral intermediaries such as Internet infrastructure providers. The i2Coalition’s efforts before USTR are succeeding, as demonstrated in the 2024 Review of Notorious Markets for Counterfeiting and Piracy report issued on January 8, 2025, in which not one of our Internet intermediary members or any other traditional Internet infrastructure company was cited in the online markets list.

Artificial Intelligence

House: Rep. Obernolte Plans for AI – Rep. Jay Obernolte (R-CA), who co-chaired the bipartisan House Task Force on AI in the last Congress, went on the AI Policy Podcast and detailed his plans for AI legislation. Obernolte committed to passing preemptive federal AI legislation that would let the federal government regulate AI activities tied to interstate commerce, while allowing states to regulate areas that fall outside of those guidelines. He is working on legislation entitled the Great American AI Act, which would codify many of the Task Force’s recommendations.

Trump Admin. – OSTP: Comments Submitted – OSTP accepted comments regarding existing statutes, regulations, agency rules, guidance, etc. that unnecessarily hinder the development, deployment, or adoption of AI-related technologies within the US. The comments were due by Oct. 27.

Senate: NDAA Passed with AI Provisions – The Senate passed the NDAA in October after Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), who had blocked the bill, got a commitment from leadership that SASC will hold a hearing on National Guard troop deployment to major cities. The NDAA included various AI-related measures, including the GAIN AI Act, which would require American developers of AI processors to prioritize domestic orders for high-performance processors before supplying them to overseas buyers. Senate passage clears the way for the House and Senate to formally conference their bills.

i2Coalition’s Perspective – The i2Coalition is closely monitoring the rollout of the Trump Administration’s AI Action plan released in July 2025. The i2Coalition filed comments in March 2025 in response to the AI Action Plan RFI, highlighting AI’s dependence on Internet infrastructure and the need for the Action Plan to account for the needs and challenges faced by this critical sector to ensure that the U.S. remains the global leader in AI development and deployment.

Tech

Crypto: Senate Hearing on the Taxation of Digital Assets – The Senate Committee on Finance held a full Committee hearing entitled “Examining the Taxation of Digital Assets.” Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) suggested creating a blockchain system where people get paid (similar to royalties) for the use of their medical data in discovering medical breakthroughs by linking the data to digital wallets. He said that they would not have to put their data on the blockchain, just the wallet, and the data would be held in the repository with restricted access. Senators asked stakeholders what tax regulations Congress should implement for cryptocurrency transactions, looking into accountability for exemptions while allowing for innovation in the sector. As hinted at the Senate Finance Committee’s hearing, GOP members are working on legislation to address the taxation of digital assets. Both the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee are in the early stages of coordinating a potential bill. The GOP has stated its intent to make the bill bipartisan, and some House GOP members have already begun discussions with Democrats.

i2Coalition’s Perspective – i2Coalition monitors but has not actively engaged on this issue.

Telecommunications

Senate: Defense Bill Passage Amid Spectrum Dispute – The Senate passed its FY 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (S.2296) by a 77–20 vote, keeping a provision that gives the Department of Defense (DOD) veto power over certain spectrum bands despite Senator Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) push to remove it. As the bill heads to conference with the House version (H.R. 3838), House Communications Subcommittee Chairman Richard Hudson (R-NC) said he opposes DOD veto authority during a Punchbowl News event, calling for cooperative spectrum management and focusing on broadband permitting reform to boost national security and competitiveness with China. He also urged faster rollout of the $42.5 billion BEAD broadband program and protection of existing commercial spectrum uses.

FCC: Open Meeting is Still On During Shutdown – The FCC moved ahead with its October meeting despite the government shutdown. The agenda included nine rulemaking proposals, including measures to remove broadband nutrition label requirements, expand spectrum use in the Upper Microwave bands, and eliminate nearly 400 outdated or duplicative wireless rules. Commissioners had been operating with only one staffer each during the shutdown, but then added additional aides to be prepared for the meeting and other urgent matters.

FCC Strengthens Enforcement Against Sale of High-Risk Communications Equipment – The FCC Public Safety Bureau issued a national security advisory warning that equipment on its “covered list,” tied to foreign adversaries such as China, poses serious risks, including surveillance and network disruption. FCC Chairman Brandon Carr urged consumers and retailers to verify devices against the list before purchase, highlighting the success of “Operation Clean Carts,” which removed millions of prohibited product listings from online platforms. Carr commended cooperating retailers and emphasized continued compliance with federal prohibitions on selling or marketing covered equipment like Huawei smartwatches and Dahua security cameras.

FCC Chair Brendan Carr To Testify in the Senate Soon – The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr, along with Commissioners Anna Gomez (D) and Olivia Trusty (R), are expected to testify before the Senate Commerce Committee, possibly in November (exact date TBD) for the Committee’s first independent agency oversight hearing in years. Likely topics include Carr’s recent statements about speech and the public airwaves, particularly his comments directed at ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live. After Kimmel made false remarks about Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Carr suggested that ABC should address Kimmel’s behavior or face repercussions. His remarks drew bipartisan criticism, including from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), who chairs the Senate Commerce Committee, which has jurisdiction over the FCC.

Senate: Sen. Fischer Pushes for Fiber in BEAD – At USTelecom’s 2025 Broadband Investment Forum, Senator Fischer (R-NE) criticized the NTIA for not adequately supporting fiber deployment in Nebraska under the BEAD Program. While she was generally supportive of the program’s updates under the new administration, she noted that new requirements have made it difficult for Nebraska to maintain its original plan to serve underserved areas. Fischer urged the administration to give states more flexibility in allocating funds and to revisit the award guidance. However, given the tight timeline to distribute funding by the end of the year, her request is unlikely to be addressed.

NTIA is Looking to Speed up BEAD Permitting – The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is working on a plan to speed up the BEAD program permitting process, outlined in this webinar. The NTIA launched several tools to speed up the permitting process, including online mapping tools to determine which permits are likely to be necessary. Other takeaways from the webinar: the agency has exempted Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites from environmental reviews and certain historical and wildlife impact assessments from permitting reviews. NTIA has also adopted several categorical exclusions for BEAD projects to reduce the NEPA assessment time. The NTIA aims to secure 90 percent of National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) approvals through a highly expedited process compared to the typical 3-6 month timeline for review.

i2Coalition’s Perspective – i2Coalition monitors but has not actively engaged on this issue.

Energy & Environment

House: SEEC Requesting Comments for The Thriving Economy Project – The think tank arm of the House Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition (SEEC) held a summit to launch its new initiative, The Thriving Economy Project, aimed at planning future environmental, efficiency, and clean energy policies for the next Congress. SEEC includes more than 100 Democratic members. The SEEC Institute Thriving Economy report will be a comprehensive blueprint for common-sense environment and energy policies to help rebuild programs rolled back under the Trump administration. The report is expected to be released in September 2026, and the Institute is currently gathering input from stakeholders through its RFI process.
