Carr, tapped to lead the FCC, emphasizes free speech as a top priority and calls for greater competition in social media.

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Brendan Carr as the next chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
Carr has pledged to prioritize combating what he describes as a 'censorship cartel' involving Big Tech companies and advertisers that he claims suppress free speech.
He praised Elon Musk's approach to free speech on X (formerly Twitter) and encouraged other platforms to move in a similar direction.

Trump recently met with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, with Carr expressing hope that Zuckerberg will adopt a stronger commitment to free speech moving forward.
