Carr sent letters to Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, and Apple CEO Tim Cook requesting that they provide the FCC with information …

“Over the past few years, Americans have lived through an unprecedented surge in censorship,” Carr said in his letter. “Your companies played significant roles in this improper conduct. Big Tech companies silenced Americans for doing nothing more than exercising their First Amendment rights.”

Carr said that the companies worked with so-called “media monitors” to censor speech involving politics, science, and religion. …

Carr said that various congressional investigations and news reports showed the companies operated this “censorship cartel” with the help of Biden-Harris administration. …

He requested information about their work with NewsGuard, a for-profit company that bills itself as the Internet’s arbiter of truth by “rat[ing] the credibility of news and information outlets and tell[ing] readers and advertisers which outlets they can trust.” …

The letter said that NewsGuard’s own track record was a serious problem, for example rating “official propaganda from the Communist Party of China as more credible than American publications.” …

Incoming FCC Chairman Brendan Carr Sends Message About Woke Agenda: ‘FCC Will End Its Promotion of DEI’

FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr

On Sunday, President Donald Trump announced that Federal Communications Commissioner Brendan Carr will be the new Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

After the news of his new role, Carr addressed the woke DEI agenda infiltrating the agency and promised it would end under his leadership.

Carr shared on X,  “The FCC’s most recent budget request said that promoting DEI was the agency’s second highest strategic goal. Starting next year, the FCC will end its promotion of DEI.”

He then shared the viral video of Argentinian President Javier Milei slashing governmental departments in his country to describe his approach to the FCC’s promotion of DEI, saying, “Afuera! (Out!)”

Carr, the senior Republican at the FCC, has also been a strong advocate for protecting Free Speech and fighting regulatory overreach. He has promised to dismantle the ‘censorship cartel’ and restore Free Speech rights for everyday Americans.

He wrote on X, “Broadcast media have had the privilege of using a scarce and valuable public resource—our airwaves. In turn, they are required by law to operate in the public interest. When the transition is complete, the FCC will enforce this public interest obligation.”

Signaling his intentions, on Friday, Carr sent a letter to the tech giants – Meta, Google, Microsoft, and Apple and called out the companies on the central roles their companies have played in the censorship cartel.

The four-page letter calls out the tech giants Facebook, Apple, Google, and Microsoft for participating in what he describes as “improper conduct.”

Carr wrote, “Big Tech companies silenced Americans for doing nothing more than exercising their First Amendment rights.” Carr accused the tech giants of “working in concert with so-called media monitors and others – to defund, demonetize and otherwise put out of business news outlets and organizations that dared to deviate from an approved narrative.”

Carr also pointed out how the tech giants were “participating in a censorship cartel that included not only technology and social media companies but advertising, marketing, and so-called “fact-checking” organizations as well as the Biden-Harris administration itself.”
