President Trump criticized the Digital Equity Act, calling it 'RACIST' and 'totally UNCONSTITUTIONAL.' His claims mischaracterized the Act's purpose, which is to address the digital divide affecting underprivileged Americans. Data indicates significant disparities in internet access based on income, with a large percentage of low-income households lacking reliable broadband. The Digital Equity Act, initiated by Senator Patty Murray and integrated into Biden's infrastructure law, aims to provide funding for states and organizations to improve internet access and technology for those in need, striving to equalize opportunities in the digital landscape.
Trump's characterization of the Digital Equity Act as 'RACIST,' 'ILLEGAL,' and 'totally UNCONSTITUTIONAL' is fundamentally incorrect, overlooking the digital divide affecting low-income families.
The Digital Equity Act, introduced in 2019, aims to narrow the digital divide by providing grant programs for states and organizations to enhance internet access.
