Trump Picks Big Tech Critic Carr to Lead US Communications Agency

US President-elect Donald Trump has selected Brendan Carr, a Republican and outspoken critic of big tech, to lead the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Trump praised Carr as a “warrior for Free Speech” in a statement released Sunday, highlighting his commitment to restoring freedoms and cutting down regulations.

In his announcement, Trump emphasized Carr’s efforts to fight “regulatory lawfare” that stifles innovation and freedom. He described Carr’s mission as ending the “regulatory onslaught” impacting job creators and innovators while ensuring the FCC serves rural America effectively.

Carr, previously the senior Republican at the FCC, is no stranger to the agency. The FCC regulates key areas like television and radio licenses, home internet pricing, and other communication policies.

On Elon Musk’s platform, X, Carr expressed his gratitude, stating he was “humbled and honored” to be chosen as FCC chairman. In another post, he wrote, “We must dismantle the censorship cartel and restore free speech rights for everyday Americans.”

Carr has consistently criticized major tech companies like Facebook, Google, Apple, and Microsoft, accusing them of leading what he calls a “censorship cartel.” He has vowed to tackle these issues, using phrases like “it must be dismantled” in his social media posts.

He has also formed a strong alliance with billionaire Elon Musk, whose Starlink satellite internet service stands to benefit from federal funding. Notably, Carr opposed a 2020 decision by the FCC’s Democrat-led commission to revoke an $885 million grant for Starlink, a move he labeled “regulatory lawfare” targeting Musk.

Carr has been vocal about slashing regulations and holding major tech companies accountable. In a document for the conservative Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, he outlined his vision for the FCC’s role in reining in big tech, boosting national security, fostering economic growth, and ensuring FCC transparency.

Carr’s appointment as FCC chairman is expected to signal significant changes in the regulatory landscape, particularly for tech companies and broadcasters, as Trump’s second term approaches.
