Summary
FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr, a staunch opponent of broadband regulation and net neutrality, is poised to lead the agency under Donald Trump’s presidency.
Carr’s agenda includes reducing regulations on ISPs, potentially forcing Big Tech companies to fund broadband projects, and targeting platforms like TikTok over national security concerns.
He also supports revisiting Section 230 to curb perceived anti-conservative bias in social media.
Critics warn Carr’s leadership could weaken consumer protections, undermine net neutrality, and enable political interference in communications policy, prioritizing industry and partisan goals over public interest.

Oh wow, must be a huge coincidence given Trump never read project 2025
I believe him when he said he didn’t read it, because his staffers say he won’t read a goddamn thing unless it glowingly mentions him several times (or it’s a book of Hitler’s speeches). Trump himself has said he considers reading a waste of time.
What I DO believe is that he’s being spoonfed lists of appointees by the Heritage Foundation.
US has already stopped investing in technology education (even people as young as 20 years old that walk in the shop here show no indication of technology education)
Democracy does die in darkness in part due to loss of progress in technology
The lack of tech knowledge just comes from growing up with tech that just works and that’s much less open than it was back in the day. The same thing is happening everywhere.
These youngsters need a few good bluescreens of death to harden em
This should be good.
And by good, I mean a flaming dumpster-fire shitshow of gross incompetence
If we’re lucky. Competence in these cases is more dangerous.
