They were going to lose anyway. Everyone seems to memoryhole that the Biden administration was on the verge of forcing Google to sell of chrome. They were probably going to enforce more antitrust on big tech.
But of course people memoryholed it. They control what you see and think.
It's no surprise they comply with Trump's arbitrary whims. The tech industry didn't gamble. Trump was their only choice.
They could have chosen to spin off parts of their companies to avoid a forced breakup. They could have chosen to fight back against disinformation during the 2024 election. And they could have chosen to say no to Trump and his mad king decrees. But, they chose to side with the fascists, and that's now the only decision that matters.
The very first thought in my mind when I woke to Trump 2.0, "There goes Lina Khan, our last best hope."
She was set to tear these anti-capitalist monopolies down and get democracy back overseeing the economic system. At least Mamdani snatched her up and she's kicking ass for NYC!
We remember. That didn't happen, though. Tangerine Palpatine shielded them.
