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.”
