Brendan Carr, former chair of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), has denied that his threat to pull broadcast licenses over Iran war coverage was about the Iran war. His comments were widely perceived as a threat over negative war news coverage. Carr had previously warned broadcasters they could lose station licenses over airing late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel, and Disney briefly removed him from the air after the comments. He defended and denied the threat, stating that he has no plans to pull out of broadcast licenses. He also commented on the recent ban on routers made outside the US by the FCC, which he believes is not likely to lead to significant litigation risk. Despite the need for regulation of tech platforms has decreased, Carr remains hopeful about seeing platforms like X and Meta change their policies in ways he views as more fair.
