Corporations and especially Silicon Valley were pushing hard for Trump because they were furious about Lena Khan. Don't let them pretend that they are innocent in all of this. They're all polishing their jackboots right now.
I also think there's a little bit of quid pro quo happening here - in exchange for giving into Trump's whims and kissing the ring they've had antitrust investigations watered down and patent disputes solved.

If phoneposters cared about that, they would buy a general computer. And yes, situation with ebooks is the same.
Please direct me to the general computer in a phone form factor that isn't some fiddly Linux gadget. What e-reader doesn't allow side-loading books?
