The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is an independent U.S. government agency authorized and overseen by Congress to implement and enforce U.S. communication laws. Since President Trump appointed Brendan Carr as FCC Chairman, the FCC has weaponized routine procedures–such as threatening license revocation and launching investigations—against independent media outlets that President Trump has repeatedly attacked in public to discredit and silence. The FCC has used its regulatory power to undermine freedom of the press. Call on the FCC to maintain its independence and respect and protect the human right to freedom of expression.
