Trump can’t be bought, and Big Tech is finding out the hard way

Critics used to howl that President Donald Trump was selling out to Big Tech. Figures such as Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg quickly went from MAGA-world archvillains to sympathetic figures who posed for photos with Trump, congratulated him on his victory, and even turned up and applauded at his inauguration.

For Democrats, and more than a few Never Trump holdouts, this was proof that Trump was in their pocket and that his tough talk on Big Tech would produce zero results. But the Trump administration has made one thing clear: Those critics were wrong. Trump isn’t kissing up to Big Tech. He’s cracking down on it with a vengeance.
