    Wanting to make sure that Big Tech plays by the rules is one thing, but I still think it’s pretty crazy that he said Republicans now stand “for the little guys”. Even in December 2024 I think that’s a pretty crazy thing to say.

      Imo, I thing they were in that they didn’t like big tech cause big tech didn’t like them. Many blocked Trump’s accounts after 6th of Jan. That being said, I also think it was naive to think Trump wouldn’t immediately change his mind if big tech changed their tune, pampered him, and made him feel like a little princess. I personally didn’t expect big tech to cozy up to Trump so hard and has been a big reason for me to remove big tech from my life where possible.

        Good points. Alas it seems that Trump’s supposed care “for the little guys” was just a ploy for him to gain power. Although I guess there are many “little guys” that he never even pretended to care about: immigrants, Muslims, antifa, etc.
