I think you're the only poster who actually caught this.
Brendan Carr comes out of a firm that owns a major DC lobbying hydra (Signal Group). His FCC history is all about parroting the (often anti-consumer) talking points of last administration.
He's indistinguishable from Ajit Pai. Carr is endlessly supportive of ISP monopolies. He rails against net-neutrality and Section 230. He's everything the FCC ought to protect us from.
As far as TikTok+China goes, I tend to be way more concerned about govs that can imprison me.
Past that, is TikTok a problem? We don't actually know because we never, ever, ever get meaningful specifics about what's being collected or what how that manifests as an actual risk to us.
