Bits<p>For our friends in the <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> from the <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/FCC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FCC</span></a>: On February 28, 2025, the FCC released a Seventh Report and Order and Eleventh Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM) regarding Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA). WEAs are emergency alerts delivered to mobile devices of people within the United States. WEAs are currently sent with an audio attention signal and vibration cadence, which can sometimes be unexpected and jarring, causing some consumers to experience alert fatigue and opt out of receiving future WEA messages. In the Report and Order, the FCC adopted rules to allow alert originators the option of sending “silent alerts” that do not trigger WEA’s audio attention signal, vibration cadence, or both. Sending silent alerts gives alert originators more flexibility in sending alerts, for example, during an active shooter situation or for a missing person alert sent at night. </p><p>The new rules also allow users, including those with disabilities, to override the silent alert and activate the vibration cadence to ensure that they know their device has received the message. </p><p>Compliance with these requirements will be required 36 months after publication of the Seventh Report and Order in the Federal Register.</p><p>In addition, the FCC adopted a requirement that any device marketed as a “WEA-capable mobile device” must adhere to the full suite of current WEA capabilities, including the capability to receive silent alerts and override a silent alert to activate the vibration cadence. This requirement will become effective 180 days after publication in the Federal Register.</p><p>In the NPRM, the FCC seeks comment on whether users of WEA-capable mobile devices should be allowed to further customize their receipt of WEA messages, for example, to have greater flexibility to silence the attention signal or vibration cadence for certain classes of WEAs, and what additional steps the FCC can take to reduce the rate at which wireless subscribers opt out of WEAs.</p><p>Link to the Seventh Report and Order and Eleventh Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking:<br>URL: <a href="https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-makes-weas-more-responsive-public-safety-and-consumer-needs" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">fcc.gov/document/fcc-makes-wea</span><span class="invisible">s-more-responsive-public-safety-and-consumer-needs</span></a> </p><p>Additional information about WEA accessibility is available at <a href="https://www.fcc.gov/wea-accessibility" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">fcc.gov/wea-accessibility</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>.

AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>Hey, would you believe me if I told you that the President signed an executive order on February 18th that gives Trump, a guy who tried to make election officials declare him the winner of an election he lost (and launched a coup attempt when that didn't work) and has been talking about shutting down media organizations that criticize him, essentially complete control over the previously independent Federal Election Commission and Federal Communications Commission? I mean probably not right, since for-profit media has barely covered the issue even though it has a direct impact on their industry. Unfortunately, it's true:</p><p><a href="https://truthout.org/articles/independent-agencies-oversee-elections-and-media-trumps-seizing-their-reins/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">truthout.org/articles/independ</span><span class="invisible">ent-agencies-oversee-elections-and-media-trumps-seizing-their-reins/</span></a></p><p>Independent Agencies Oversee Elections and Media. Trump’s Seizing Their Reins.</p><p>"The order states that, “The heads of independent regulatory agencies shall establish a position of White House Liaison in their respective agencies,” and goes on to say: “Independent regulatory agency chairmen shall submit agency strategic plans … to the Director of OMB for clearance prior to finalization.” In other words, independent agencies will no longer be independent but will instead be ruled over by political commissars, their every action now scrutinized to make sure they are ideologically sympatico to the aims of the MAGA movement.</p><p>Two of the agencies subject to this new system are the Federal Election Commission (FEC) — a historically bipartisan, six-member organization that helps to set ground rules for how elections are run and financed — and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which, among other things, controls access to the country’s airwaves.</p><p>Trump has been angling for control of both of these agencies since the start of his administration."</p><p>Is any of this legal? Who the hell knows; but are you willing to bet a 6-3 fascist-high Supreme Court that has already endorsed the idea that Trump is above the law and the existence of an imperial presidency, are likely to stop him? I'm certainly not. Furthermore, to mount any sort of mass resistance to this type of "classic" fascist power grab ultimately targeting elections and media criticism of the regime, you'd probably have to know it's happening and understand why this executive order might be the single most dangerous thing Trump has signed since he took office again; and clearly for-profit media and a political class doing more collaborating with fascism than resisting it, don't consider informing you about this very relevant right now. </p><p>Folks, I dunno about you but I'm getting tired of waiting around for Trump to find his Reichstag Fire and finish crafting a multi-executive order version of the German Enabling Act while Very Serious PeopleTM keep pretending we don't know if Trump is going to go full Hitler and mustn't presume he means to do everything he openly says he's doing. We all heard this guy on tape pressuring election officials and even GOP Governors to "find" him thousands of votes and effectively rig the 2020 election for him. We're all watching as his Project 2025 nazi minion Brendan Carr uses his newfound powers as head of the FCC to threaten the broadcast licenses of media orgs that criticize him, try to shut down PBS and NPR, and even investigate media companies that the regime claims "promote diversity" like that's some kind of crime. So when Trump, the imperial president, passes an executive order that gives him complete effective control of the agencies that regulate American elections and what passes for the "free press" in the United States, you'd have to some kind of credulous rube to believe he's doing so for any other purpose besides rigging elections for fascists and eliminating whatever portions of the US media there are that won't carry water for the fascist administration and the odious ideology animating it. There's not a lotta wiggle room here; either you're a complete fucking muppet, or you're willing to quietly bootlick for a fascist President while he rips pages directly from Hitler's playbook to create his very own American Pork Reich. </p><p>I guess the only question left then, is which of those two possibilities best describes an American political and media class supposedly opposed to Trump's fascist regime, that doesn't want to talk about it before it's too late to stop him? </p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/FCC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FCC</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/FEC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FEC</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Elections" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Elections</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Media</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/FreePress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreePress</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/GOP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GOP</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/NaziGermany" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NaziGermany</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/BrendanCarr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BrendanCarr</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Project2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Project2025</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/NPR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NPR</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/PBS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PBS</span></a></p>

NG911 is replacing legacy 911 technology across the country with Internet Protocol (IP)-based infrastructure that will support new 911 capabilities, including text, video and data. This multimedia NG911 call capability can enhance accessibility for individuals with disabilities.<br> <br>The Further Notice asks questions about how to ensure the emergency networks can support three-way video for video relay service (VRS) calls, the feasibility of such a proposal, and what challenges may exist regarding such a requirement. The Further Notice also seeks comment about current VRS provider capabilities. <br> <br>The March 2025 Open Meeting is scheduled for 10:30 am ET on Thursday, March 27, 2025, and will be held in the Commission Meeting Room, 45 L Street NE, Washington, DC 20554.

The Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation (CALM) Act directs the FCC to require television stations and multichannel video programming providers (MVPDs), e.g., cable and satellite television companies, to ensure that all commercials are transmitted to consumers at an appropriate loudness level determined by an industry standard.</p><p>For people with disabilities, the FCC notes that loudness and audio degradation may be a particular problem in streamed television shows and movies. The FCC thus seeks comment from consumers about their ability to hear and understand dialogue in streamed shows and movies and whether audio degradation particularly affects those with disabilities. The FCC also welcomes comment on the causes of this audio degradation and on the FCC’s authority under the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010 (CVAA) to act on these issues.</p><p>The comment due dates will be announced when available. </p><p>Link to the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking:<br><a href="https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-proposes-update-commercial-loudness-rules" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">fcc.gov/document/fcc-proposes-</span><span class="invisible">update-commercial-loudness-rules</span></a> </p><p>More information about the CALM Act is available at: <a href="https://www.fcc.gov/enforcement/areas/sound-volume-commercials-calm-act" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">fcc.gov/enforcement/areas/soun</span><span class="invisible">d-volume-commercials-calm-act</span></a>, and more information about the CVAA is available at: www.fcc.gov/cvaa.

Bits<p>For our friends in the <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> from the <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/FCC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FCC</span></a>: On February 6, 2025, the FCC announced that it will consider a Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM) regarding Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEAs) at its February 2025 Open Meeting. WEAs are alerts delivered to mobile devices and provide warnings and instructions that can save lives, but sometimes can cause “alert fatigue” and consumer opt-out. In the Report and Order, the FCC would adopt rules to allow alert originators the option of sending “silent alerts” that do not trigger WEA’s audio attention signal or vibration cadence. Sending silent alerts would give alert originators more flexibility in sending alerts, for example, by sending alerts silently during an active shooter situation or for an AMBER Alert sent at night. The rule to be considered also would allow users, including people with disabilities, to override the silent alert and activate the vibration cadence to ensure that they know their device has received the message. The FCC will also consider adopting a requirement that any device marketed as a “WEA-capable mobile device” adheres to the full suite of current WEA capabilities, including the capability to receive silent alerts and override a silent alert to activate the vibration cadence. </p><p>In the FNPRM, the FCC proposes to seek comment on whether users of WEA-capable mobile devices should be allowed to further customize their receipt of WEA messages, for example, to silence the attention signal or vibration cadence, and what additional steps the FCC can take to reduce the rate at which wireless subscribers opt out of WEA.</p><p>The February 2025 Open Meeting is scheduled for 10:30 am ET on February 27, 2025, and will be held in the Commission Meeting Room, 45 L Street NE, Washington, DC 20554. The FCC meeting is also streamed live with open captioning and American Sign Language at www.fcc.gov/live. Other reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities are available upon request.
