More than a year since she last faced a Senate hearing over her nomination to the FCC,returned again on Tuesday, telling lawmakers that “I believe deeply that regulated entities should not choose their regulators.”
The latest was a guilt-by-association Daily Mail story that linked her membership on the board of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which has often found itself at odds with studios and media companies over copyright issues, and its award to Mistress Blunt, a sex worker who was honored for her activism in digital rights and technology policy. EFF told the Daily Mail that Sohn had no role in selecting Blunt for the award., former top lobbyist for The Walt Disney Co.
“I am a citizen who just wanted to participate in the Democratic process,” Sohn told Cruz, adding that the contributions were “relatively small donations.” At Tuesday’s hearing, Cruz said that if Sohn’s “brazen theft of intellectual property, her lack of candor and her conflicts of interest weren’t disqualifying on their own, then her long record of poor judgment should seal her fate.”
