Brendan Carr has been appointed by Trump as the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Known for his criticism of large technology companies, Carr aims to dismantle the so-called "censorship cartel" that he believes undermines free speech.
His previous work has modernized infrastructure regulations and expanded high-speed networks, significantly reducing bureaucratic barriers and boosting America's 5G capabilities. Supported by influential figures like Elon Musk, Carr is expected to advocate for a reduction in regulatory overreach.
In his new role, he also possesses the authority to issue broadcasting licenses, a power Trump has threatened to wield against unpopular media outlets. Carr's leadership reflects a commitment to enhancing free expression while addressing the challenges posed by major tech firms in content moderation.
His appointment signals a shift toward a more aggressive stance on media regulation and free speech advocacy in the United States.
