Trump's pick to run the FCC has told us what he plans: TikTok ban, space broadband, and Section 230 reform

President-elect Donald Trump has announced his choice for head of the United States Federal Communications Commission: a current commissioner, Brendan Carr, whom Trump appointed last time he was in there White House.

Carr's an obvious choice. Trump put him on the Commission (FCC) in 2017 and he has remained at the regulator ever since. His rulings have reflected the incoming president's policy priorities. He's also written a chapter outlining his views on future directions in the Project 2025 manifesto produced by conservative activists as a template for the upcoming Trump presidency.

"Commissioner Carr is a warrior for Free Speech, and has fought against the regulatory Lawfare that has stifled Americans' Freedoms, and held back our Economy," Trump announced on Sunday. "He will end the regulatory onslaught that has been crippling America's Job Creators and Innovators, and ensure that the FCC delivers for rural America."

"We must dismantle the censorship cartel and restore free speech rights for everyday Americans," was his first comment after his planned appointment was announced.
