Last week, then-FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel said the commission was rejecting complaints that "seek to weaponize the licensing authority of the FCC in a way that is fundamentally at odds with the First Amendment." The FCC said Wednesday in a series of orders the complaints were dismissed "prematurely based on an insufficient investigatory record."
