Summary
FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr, a Republican with strong conservative views, may be appointed chair under a Trump presidency, shifting the agency’s focus from consumer protections to reducing ISP regulations and targeting Big Tech.
Carr opposes net neutrality and seeks to make tech companies contribute to the FCC’s Universal Service Fund, typically funded by telecoms.
He also supports reinterpreting Section 230 to limit legal protections for social media.
Carr’s stance against data caps regulation and net neutrality aligns with a deregulatory, pro-ISP agenda, sparking concern from consumer advocacy groups.

It’s weird when you agree with some of a persons conclusions, but not the way they reached them.
