Yes, we trust regulators to regulate effectively and not to single out companies when they do things the president doesn’t like.
> The previous administration became the arbiter of truth as to gender and race.
How is the prior administration’s policy to towards race and gender in any way relevant to this administration’s policy towards one tech company?
> What's stopping the next administration from doing the same?
Well, if this action results in a drop in public approval of the administration, the next administration is probably not going to be incentivized to do it. Further, this line of questioning provides zero substance as you could ask that question of any scenario. “It’s OK now because no one will be stopped from doing it in the future” is not a valid argument.
