A man arrested for threatening to kill the FCC president's family

A 33-year-old California man who told the FBI that he was upset by the repeal of net neutrality regulations was arrested for threatening to kill the family of the Commission's president Federal Communications, Ajit Pai, according to the prosecutor's office. According to court documents cited by the Department of Justice, 33-year-old Markara Man of Norwalk, California, reportedly sent three emails to Pai in December 2017. The first email accused the FCC president of being responsible for A child who committed suicide on the repeal of net neutrality. The following email listed three locations near Washington, D.C., and threatened to kill Pai's family members. And the third email, says the DOJ, just shows a Pai impact and a framed picture of him with his family.

When the FBI traced e-mails and confronted it in May 2018, Man confessed to making threats because he was "angry" about the repeal of neutrality from the net and wanted to "scare" the president of the FCC.

Man was charged with threatening to kill an immediate family member of a US official with intent to intimidate or obstruct the official duties of the official . If he is found guilty, the California man faces 10 years in prison. The case against the man is prosecuted by the US Deputy Attorney, Alexander P. Berrang.

Net neutrality rules were instilled under the rules of the Obama era, with the goal of ensuring that Internet service providers (AT & T or Comcast) treat all sites Web and online content equally. The FCC voted to overturn these regulations in December 2017, after months of controversy around the issue. The vote for the repeal of the regulation was 3 to 2 to reverse net neutrality, falling in line with the party.

The alleged threats against Pai's family are part of a larger debate about civility in politics.

Rep. Maxine Waters, a California Democrat, called on his supporters to harass Trump cabinet members in public. She told the media that she had canceled two events this weekend, herself threatened.

Sarah Sanders, press secretary of the White House, was to receive secret protection from her home after being told a restaurant in Lexington, Virginia, last week.
