Summary

FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr, a staunch opponent of broadband regulation and net neutrality, is poised to lead the agency under Donald Trump’s presidency.

Carr’s agenda includes reducing regulations on ISPs, potentially forcing Big Tech companies to fund broadband projects, and targeting platforms like TikTok over national security concerns.

He also supports revisiting Section 230 to curb perceived anti-conservative bias in social media.

Critics warn Carr’s leadership could weaken consumer protections, undermine net neutrality, and enable political interference in communications policy, prioritizing industry and partisan goals over public interest.

    My sisters WiFi wouldn’t connect on a Samsung S20something.

    Went through ordinary steps.

    All failed to resolve.

    The solution:

    Change time date to manual, then back to automatic. For whatever reason, this was the fix.

    Most bizarre troubleshooting ever.

    I’m the type who’s of aa mind that anything can be fixed or repurposed. May not be pretty, but if it can still be used somehow it will.
