Trump appoints Brendan Carr as new FCC Chairman

Donald Trump has appointed Brendan Carr as the new Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Carr, who is currently a Republican commissioner, will oversee U.S. communications regulation. Carr has previously supported broadband funding initiatives and opposed NBC's decision to feature Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday Night Live before the election. His leadership may bring changes to the FCC's approach to regulating media and technology. Carr has expressed interest in regulating major tech companies like Apple and Google. This could lead to increased scrutiny of these firms and potential conflicts with the tech industry.
