The media regulator appointed by Trump labeled Facebook, Google, Apple, and Microsoft as a "censorship cartel."

Karr reported this on social media.

Immediately after, he declared that he would work on dismantling the "censorship cartel and restoring the right to free speech for ordinary Americans."

Even before his election, Karr addressed the leaders of companies like Facebook, Google, Apple, and Microsoft, accusing them of playing a "central role in the censorship cartel."

"The Orwellian name NewsGuard, along with fact-checking groups and advertising agencies, has helped impose one-sided narratives. The censorship cartel must be dismantled," Karr wrote on X.

Additionally, Karr stated that broadcasting media "had the privilege of using a scarce and valuable public resource—our airwaves." He promised that once the transition of administration is complete, the Federal Communications Commission will ensure adherence to their commitment "to act in the public interest."

He also announced that the Commission would halt the promotion of the DEI program—a set of measures aimed at achieving representation and equality for historically marginalized social groups. It is noteworthy that DEI organizations engage in various measures to combat institutional inequality and implement identity politics.

"When it comes to promoting DEI, I can only say one thing: Afuera", Karr wrote, quoting Argentine President Javier Milei, who began his tenure by cutting several expenses.

Trump's Team

Newly elected U.S. President Donald Trump is in the process of forming his core team.

He first appointed Suzy Wiles to his administration—she will become the head of the White House staff.

Additionally, Trump selected Congressman Mike Waltz as his national security advisor and Senator Marco Rubio as Secretary of State. He wants to see Congresswoman from New York Elise Stefanik as the U.S. Ambassador to the UN.

Media outlets noted that American billionaire and inventor Elon Musk will not hold a position in the new administration, although he is increasing his influence over Trump. However, it later became known that he, along with businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, will head the new Department of Government Efficiency.

Meanwhile, Trump wants to appoint Fox News host and former military officer Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense, and at the helm of the Department of Homeland Security—South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, known for her anti-Ukrainian statements.

For Director of National Intelligence, Trump has chosen Tulsi Gabbard—a politician and former officer in the U.S. Army Reserve. She opposes aid to Ukraine, and in 2022 during the full-scale invasion, she blamed Washington, not Russia, for the conflict.

Furthermore, the newly elected president has chosen longtime ally John Ratcliffe as the head of the Central Intelligence Agency.
