Brendan Carr Takes the Helm at FCC

In a bold move on November 18, 2024, President Trump appointed Brendan Carr, a seasoned FCC commissioner with nearly two decades in tech policy, as the new FCC chair. A vocal Big Tech critic, Carr aims to dismantle regulatory barriers, potentially tweaking Section 230 to curb social media censorship. Expect clashes with Silicon Valley and cheers from free speech advocates. With initiatives like 5G expansion and telehealth, Carr’s tenure promises sparks and strides in equal measure.
