Chris Murphy Calls for 'Regulating the Internet' so People Won't Fall for a 'Demagogue Like Donald Trump'

  • Sen. Chris Murphy said on the “I’ve Had It” podcast that the government should regulate the internet to reduce loneliness and make people less likely to support demagogues such as Donald Trump.
  • Murphy linked the proposal to his book, “Crisis of the Common Good,” which discusses Americans’ feelings of powerlessness and loneliness.
  • Murphy identified minimum-wage policies, stronger local institutions, and internet regulation as possible government efforts to help people feel more connected and powerful.
  • White House spokesperson Davis Ingle criticized Murphy, while Rep. Jimmy Patronis said artificial intelligence needs oversight but questioned whether Congress has the expertise to regulate it.
