President-elect Donald Trump has announced Brendan Carr as his pick for the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Carr, a Republican commissioner, is known for advocating reduced regulation and increased scrutiny of major tech companies.
His appointment signals a potential shift in how the FCC will handle issues like political bias in media and the regulation of large technology platforms.
This move comes as Trump continues to focus on reshaping federal agencies with appointees who align with his deregulatory agenda.
