I think it's important to point out here that neither side really understands tech but one side was viciously against any form of antitrust with these companies until the absolutely foolish decision by these companies to start targeting that one side for censorship. Their employees demanded it as did the Democratic party leadership. And they did their thing and lost the only friends they had on this front. Any GOP politician who tries to block this will have no leg to stand on within their own party. Something that would have been unthinkable 2 years ago is now a popular action because the base hates these companies so much now. They managed to turn Alabama Republicans into people who hate large corporations as much as your typical Berkeley protester. Based on this I'm assuming that Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey are surrounded by sycophantic idiots.
