Adam Candeub to be acting head of NTIA

Adam Candeub, current acting deputy of the Commerce Department's National Telecommunications and Information Administration, is being elevated to the role of Acting Assistant Secretary. His elevation to a top position at NTIA is sure to be controversial because of ties to white nationalists. Candeub is also a vocal critic of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, the law that makes it so online platforms are largely not responsible for what others post. Until April 2020, Candeub was a law professor at Michigan State University. He previously worked at the Federal Communications Commission.
