Brendan Carr, Trump's FCC pick, authored the FCC chapter in Project 2025, outlining his vision for the agency.
Carr aims to shift FCC priorities, focusing on regulating Big Tech (e.g., Google, Meta) and Chinese telecom firms like TikTok.
He advocates for restricting Section 230 protections for tech companies to limit censorship and increase transparency in algorithms.
Carr has aligned with Elon Musk, criticizing the government's treatment of Starlink and advocating for fair treatment.
He views TikTok as a national security threat, supporting actions similar to the Biden administration's push for a ban or sale.
Carr criticizes broadcasters like CBS and NBC for alleged political bias, echoing Trump's calls for stricter enforcement of FCC rules.
Supporters praise Carr as a free-speech advocate, while critics warn of his ties to Musk and opposition to net neutrality.
