The FCC's New Leader: Brendan Carr's Vision

Brendan Carr, a key player in ‘Project 2025, ’ is set to lead the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). He's got a lot on his mind, and it's not just about broadband and wireless spectrum. Carr wants to banish “censorship” by tech companies, hold broadcast media accountable, and scrap the FCC’s focus on diversity and inclusion. He's got friends in high places, like Elon Musk, and has been vocal about his views on platforms like X. His appointment follows Trump’s nomination, and he’s been open about his plans to tackle online censorship, aligning with Trump’s campaign promises. Carr has been critical of content moderation by platforms like Facebook and Twitter, accusing them of unfairly silencing conservative views. He’s also written extensively about reining in Big Tech, promoting national security, and rolling back net neutrality rules. His vision for the FCC is shaping up to be quite different from his predecessors.
