Brendan Carr's FCC Nomination Signals Push for Section 230 Repeal

Trump's FCC chair pick, Brendan Carr, aims to reform social media regulations and challenge Big Tech's legal protections.

Brendan Carr, Trump's nominee for FCC chair, seeks to eliminate Section 230 protections for social media platforms, which currently shield them from legal liability for user-generated content.
Carr's stance aligns with both Trump and Biden, who have expressed support for repealing Section 230, citing concerns over Big Tech's accountability and content moderation practices.
Carr's Project 2025 contributions outline his vision for the FCC, emphasizing the need to address perceived censorship and bias against conservative viewpoints on social media.
Carr also advocates for tech companies to contribute to the Universal Service Fund and supports the use of satellite technology to expand rural internet access.
Critics warn that the proposed changes could increase liability for platforms like Trump's Truth Social, highlighting potential conflicts of interest in Carr's regulatory agenda.
