Adam Candeub, known for his criticism of Big Tech, is expected to join the FCC as general counsel, a position confirmed by FCC Chairman Brendan Carr. Candeub has been a longtime advocate for revising Section 230, which shields tech companies from liability for user content. His past involvement includes a 2020 petition urging FCC action on social media moderation, particularly following allegations of conservative censorship during the 2020 election. Candeub's appointment suggests a potential shift in regulatory approach within the FCC regarding tech accountability.
Candeub has long been a vocal critic of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996, which protects tech companies from liability for user-generated content.
The appointment of Candeub as general counsel of the FCC signals a renewed push for changes to Section 230 during this administration.
