Trump picks Brendan Carr to lead the Federal Communications Commission
NBCNOV 2024
Carr is exactly what America needs following years of government-corporate collusion to kick conservatives off the internet. The most powerful people in the world — from Biden to many Big Tech billionaires — are left-leaning liberals who want their beliefs to be the only acceptable ones. That will change under Carr.
Carr's nomination proves Republicans don't care about government agencies being biased. Not only does Carr want to strip away national internet access rights viaby abolishing net neutrality, but he'll simultaneously cozy up to his billionaire friends like Musk. This choice was about enriching pro-Trump businessmen.
There's a 4% chance that Section 230, which protects internet platforms from liability for false or defamatory posts by users, will be revoked or amended in the US by Jan. 20, 2025, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
