US President-elect Donald Trump has named "big tech" critic Brendan Carr to lead the US communications regulator, after he takes office in January 2025.
Carr has attacked what he sees as the censorship of conservative viewpoints by top social media firms other than X, a site owned by his ally and fellow Trump backer, Elon Musk.
He authored a chapter of Project 2025 - a "wish list" for a second Trump presidency by the conservative Heritage Foundation. Trump has distanced himself from the document.
