Not me, but: > What the article makes it sound like is that Thiel is against forms of censorship at the level of companies like Google and Amazon, which in a way is fine, right? (Or maybe I misunderstood?). He's on the board of Facebook, and I don't think I'm pessimistic in assuming that will be a executive factor in his actions. I also don't think it's unreasonable to suggest he's only being considered for his support and donations to Trump, not for his qualifications (like most Trump appointees). > Also it sounds like Thiel would very much want to limit the role of the NSA in matters of domestic privacy, which is kind of what everybody wanted Obama to do. I don't believe anyone is hesitant out of dislike of the concept, but clouded judgement of the individual.
