Trump’s pick to lead the FCC, Brendan Carr, wants Big Tech to start contributing to federal funds and to be compelled not to censor content.
US president-elect Donald Trump has chosen Brendan Carr, the senior Republican on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), as its chair, he said in a statement.
Carr has served at the agency since 2012, including as an adviser to a later chair, Ajit Pai, and has worked as its general counsel. Trump during his first presidency nominated Carr to the FCC in 2017.
