Trump nominates big tech critic Brendan Carr to chair telecommunications regulator
Briefly

Brendan Carr, the incoming FCC chair, has been a vocal critic of the Biden administration and aims to restore free speech rights for Americans affected by tech censorship.
Carr's push against Biden's telecom policies includes opposition to the $900 million Starlink broadband subsidies and challenges to federal broadband infrastructure funding, emphasizing transparency and equity.
During his tenure, Carr criticized major tech companies for censorship and advocated for stringent measures against foreign influence, positioning the FCC as a defender of American telecom integrity.
The FCC under Carr may revisit contentious issues like net neutrality, signaling a potential shift back towards more restrictive policies seen during Trump's presidency.
