Shizzzzllleeee.
Trump’s FCC chair is Brendan Carr, who wants to regulate everyone except ISPs
Carr, who wrote a chapter about the FCC for the conservative Heritage Foundation's Project 2025, is a longtime opponent of net neutrality rules and other regulations imposed on Internet service providers.
Carr is a sitting FCC commissioner and therefore no Senate approval is needed to confirm the choice
Yup
@ecksmc He accues Big Tech of censorship. That's their prerogative. The first amendment protects us from the government infringing on our speech. It doesn't say that corporations can't infringe on our speech. Where would Fox News and Truth Social be if Carr's ideas were applied?
@peterquirk its only free speech if its their speech
Thats the way its heading for the US
Although Carr wants to deregulate telecom companies that the FCC has historically regulated, he wants the FCC to start regulating Big Tech and social media firms. He has also echoed Trump's longtime complaints about the news media and proposed punishments for broadcast networks.
