      Dude is also a massive fan boy of Elon. I guarantee you he tries giving rural broadband to Starlink. Fishy as fuck announcing this on a Sunday night almost as if Trump didn’t want people paying attention to it.

      Get ready to have your internet speeds slowing down with the remedy involving paying more money to get it back.

      Elon* just chose Brendan Carr for FCC Chief.

      All hail propaganda! All hail IOI!

      Nothing good is going to happen next 4 years, every single day, every single month your life will get worse.

      Who is Brendan Carr? Well, you’re about to find out why Trump chose him…

      > In 2023, Carr authored the chapter on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 book, Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise.

      > Carr previously served as the agency’s general counsel and as an aide to FCC commissioner Ajit Pai.

      > Carr supports changes to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act and opposes net neutrality protections.

      > He has been a supporter of Elon Musk’s efforts to win subsidies for broadband internet service and criticized NBC for letting Vice President Kamala Harris appear on “Saturday Night Live” just before the election.

      > Carr [has accused] Adam Schiff of overseeing a “secret and partisan surveillance machine”.

      > Carr publicly accused social media platforms of being biased against the Trump reelection campaign. During an on-air interview with Lou Dobbs Tonight on Fox News, Carr stated that “Since the 2016 election, the far left has hopped from hoax to hoax to hoax to explain how it lost to President Trump at the ballot box.”

      > In 2021, Carr criticized the Biden administration’s proposal for $100 billion in new broadband deployment as part of the original American Jobs Plan proposal.

      Carr has been pretty vocal about the Biden administretions efforts to make broadband Internet a more accessible service for Americans, calling it “administrative regulatory overreach.”

      When Elon Musk was criticized for denying Ukraine extended Starlink satellite coverage because he believed that Russia would launch an attack against the U.S. in response, Carr came to Musk’s defense, claiming that there was an “effort to weaponize the government against Musk,” and that it was “part of a clear and repeating pattern of regulatory harassment that accelerated the moment Elon Musk stood up for free speech.”

      But Project 2025 was a made up conspiracy by Democrats to fear monger. /s

    11. snvoigt on

      Wouldn’t this include X and Musk?

      “Nowhere is that clearer than when it comes to Big Tech and its attempts to drive diverse political viewpoints from the digital town square,” Carr wrote.”

      How have we come so far already that I’m about to miss Ajit Pai? How did it get so bad already that I miss Ajit fucking Pai?!

      We are going to run into the exact same issues. Republicans will try to have it both ways. They want to argue that FCC does not have a ton of power and that it is up to the states, but at the same time they wish to regulate states for doing things they disagree with.

      Lobbyist are going to have a field day with this administration. It will be interesting how the “free speech” for private sector goes. Since entities like twitter censor their stuff. And at the same time, you have the EU and countries that require levels of moderation.

    18. ImmoKnight on

      That would actually be the next step to implementing and maintaining a dictatorship.

      By doing a power grab, the FCC could regulate what is the truth and things not seen as truth to be shown lower in priority.

      It’s really easy with control over the house, the Senate and the supreme Court to basically remove any and all controls in place to you creating a dictatorship.

      I can’t believe people voted for this Orange Menace.

    19. maybeafarmer on

      But will he look like as much an asshole with a giant Reese’s Pieces mug as the last fella?

    20. Shoddy-Theory on

      This is the same clown that said NBC should have their broadcast license suspended for having Harris on SNL

    21. topgun966 on

      I don’t think people realize how bad this is. He LOVES data caps. He HATES net neutrality. He wants the internet to be censored by the state. This is REALLY bad. God we are so fucked.

    22. SilenceWrangler on

      Yep net neutrality will be gone. Pro-corporate will be the theme the next 4 years. Mergers will happen. Monopoly’s will form.

    23. -CJF- on

      I can understand having opposing views on subjective moral issues but why is it that every republican is the antithesis of decency? It seems like these people are just trying to be the worst humans they possibly can be just for the sake of it. Literal textbook comic villains.

    24. Samwellikki on

      Someone tell trump he hired a bald guy with glasses and he’ll fire him and insult him on the way out the door

    25. HiTech828 on

      What did you all think was going to happen? This is not surprising

    26. jackiebee66 on

      I’ve never seen anyone go out is rheir way to choose the worst possible people for various posts.

    27. alu5421 on

      Just realize not one person nominated will run a department to improve it. The sole purpose has been to destroy the government so the rich can profit and to stay in power. 76 million who voted for trump are going to realize it but it is too late . Now everyone will be powerless to stop it. Look up steps to fascism. It is happening

    28. JadeSpeedster1718 on

      Well if they won’t uphold it, I better be paying a couple dollars for no more fucking ads anymore that steal my data.

    29. Illogical-logical on

      What I really want the FCC to do is end my isp’s bullshit and ever more untenable data cap.
