Changes Under New FCC Leadership

The appointment of Chairman Brendan Carr marks a significant shift in the FCC's focus, diverging from the previous chairwoman's priority of closing the digital divide. Carr has quickly initiated a rollback of diversity-related initiatives and emphasized the importance of reviewing Section 230, which protects tech companies from liability. These early actions suggest a move towards prioritizing certain political and regulatory agendas, particularly related to content moderation and oversight of media diversity. This change raises concerns about the potential implications for consumer protection and equitable access to communication services.
