Trump's Project 2025 FCC Appointment
President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Brendan Carr as the permanent chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Carr, a Republican commissioner since 2017, is known for his opposition to TikTok and advocacy for reducing regulations affecting job creators. His appointment aligns with Trump's Project 2025 initiative, which aims to reshape federal agencies to reflect conservative values. Critics express concern that Carr's leadership may lead to the rollback of net neutrality and digital discrimination rules, potentially limiting free speech and access to information. Additionally, Carr's stance on media consolidation could result in fewer independent voices in the media landscape, raising questions about the future of media diversity and the FCC's role in regulating communications in the public interest. Oh, and Carr wrote the FCC Chapter in 'Project 2025'
