Trump Appoints Brendan Carr as FCC Chair, Signaling Shift in Tech Policy

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Brendan Carr, a critic of 'big tech' and advocate for free speech, as the head of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Carr, who has served on the FCC for years and is known for his conservative views, will require Senate approval for the role. His appointment aligns with Trump's agenda to challenge perceived censorship by major social media platforms and regulate big tech companies. Carr has previously been nominated by both Trump and President Joe Biden for FCC roles.
