I'm really struggling to put into words how much this recent "moral" crusade against Facebook/Google/Amazon has begun to irritate me. My gut feeling is that unable to do anything about Trumps election victory all those enraged by his win are now turning their ire against companies that tangentially might have helped to get him elected.

Steve Bannon was looking at anti-trust issues in the administration and Trump has raised similar issues about Amazon [1][2].
