US President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Brendan Carr, a Republican and critic of big tech supported by Elon Musk, as the new chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Trump praised Carr as a ‘warrior for Free Speech’ and vowed to end regulatory measures that he claims hinder American freedoms. Carr, who has been a vocal opponent of what he describes as a ‘censorship cartel,’ aims to prioritize deregulation and support rural America during his tenure. Carr previously served as a senior Republican on the FCC and has been aligned with Musk’s interests.
