Hugely disappointing to see Andy Yen (Proton CEO) tout the Republican Party as the ones “standing up for the little guys” 🤢

Why Big Tech deplatforming should be deeply disturbing for everyone, regardless of your politics | Proton

Big Tech monopolies have too much control over what can exist on the internet. To preserve democracy, we need to break these monopolies up.

@kevin There is literally no way Trump intends to go after Big Tech in any way that doesn’t directly benefit him. He’s not going to suddenly demand his oligarch buddies give up these platforms. Believing the Republicans on this is like trusting a wolf to oversee your sheep.

Yup. That's why big tech are kissing Trump's ring, they know ring-kissing is the only thing Trump actually cares about.

Trump doesn't care about anything except people praising him and giving him money and power. There is never going to be a priniciple that Trump stands for, because he has no principles at all except his own self-gratification.
