The parties have changed since whenever you last read up on this (four years ago? ten years ago?).
Gop politicians (for Republicans call themselves this) don't care about deregulation anymore -- they just want to funnel money and power to the wealthy.
Dem politicians now seem very excited about breaking up Facebook and Google.
Both parties want to hurt Google and Facebook for perceived political bias. Gop politicians want this because Google and Facebook sometimes allow some left-of-center voices to occasionally penetrate their newsfeeds. Dem politicians want this because Facebook has been a vector for QAnon and other wingnut-terrorist radicalization.

- vxNsr 6y ago> Gop Is GOP, it's an acronym for Grand Old Party. But I was just describing the current climate, the Repubs, never cared about dereg until recently when they realized that FB and Google are abusing their power, but all the GOP solutions involved draconian backwards thinking that would only make things worse. > Both parties want to hurt Google and Facebook for perceived political bias. Not quite, GOP wants to hurt 'em, Dems are very happy with them, and all their "dereg" is basically aimed at giving them more power.
