US President-elect Donald Trump tapped Republican Brendan Carr, a critic of big tech, to lead the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), calling him a “warrior for Free Speech” in a statement on Sunday.
Carr has “fought against the regulatory Lawfare that has stifled Americans’ Freedoms” and will “end the regulatory onslaught that has been crippling America’s Job Creators and Innovators, and ensure that the FCC delivers for rural America,” Trump said in the statement.
