The FACT Act, Telecom Transparency, and the 10% We Forgot to Ask About

What if 10% of the networks powering your everyday life—from hospitals and 911 systems to water and electricity—were owned or influenced by hostile foreign governments?

In this episode, the Common Ground team unpacks the bipartisan Foreign Adversary Communications Transparency (FACT) Act, recently passed by the House, and explains why telecom transparency is a national security issue, not a partisan one. From propaganda channels in military operations centers to the generational psychology of threat perception, Shane, Amandalynne, and Logan explore how influence, infrastructure, and indifference intersect—and why Americans need to start paying closer attention to who owns the signal.
