The Pentagon, under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, has announced plans to livestream the execution by firing squad of Nidal Hasan, the former Army officer convicted of the 2009 Fort Hood shooting that killed 13 people. Officials have not specified which platform would host the stream, leaving open questions about whether sites like X would need to apply or waive their own violent-content rules to allow it.
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said in a CNBC interview that he would leave it to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to decide whether networks can air the planned firing-squad execution of convicted Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan. The Pentagon has said the execution will be livestreamed, which Carr noted likely places it outside FCC jurisdiction over broadcast TV. Major platforms including YouTube, Twitch, Meta, and X have not yet responded to questions about whether they would carry the livestream.

It would mark the first public U.S. execution since 1936 and the first military firing-squad execution since 1945.
