#2It'll be interesting to see how the new administration deals with all of the big tech antitrust investigations and lawsuits it inherits.
On one hand Trump and the Republicans hate these corporations, and would love the opportunity to take them down a notch.
On the other their entire governing agenda is about deregulation, dismantling of federal agencies and being pro-business.
Interesting situation to be in.

Its telling you haven’t paid attention because some of these cases started under the Trump administration and he’s been very categorical about his disdain for big tech.

#6If I’m reading this correctly, it seems to focus largely on Microsoft services tying you to Azure?
This could be a pretty big boon to self hosting if successful.

This is true but he is also in bed with tech oligarchs now so he will be interesting to see how he balances this and who's demands he caves to.

What happens when you eliminate the independence of agencies like the DOJ and FTC, replace experienced leaders with party loyalists, and tee up opportunities for selective prosecution? Equal justice under law collapses into a race to see which competitor can pay the largest ransom.

Edit: ignore this first sentence. I mistook two people. It originally said “Then why paint this as an issue with the left?” Because that’s what the original person who is now flagged was doing.
Remaining comment below. ——
It seems both parties have similar targets but for different reason.
I think Microsoft and Google are most likely feel the brunt of the government after Trump is back in, because it greatly benefits Elon’s competing ambitions.
I think Meta will largely be untouched due to Marks close relationship with Peter Thiel, and he’s already bent the knee before the election to the GOP.
Apple is the one oddity. Trump doesn’t have much against them, even though they’re outwardly the most progressive of the big tech.

#10Oooooooooooooo. That’s a great news.
Microsoft is fucked up company. They should not own office, cloud, GitHub, LinkedIn, crm, gaming, AI, OpenAI, and much more.
I hope trump breaks them in thousand pieces.
