Trump admin ranks companies on loyalty while handing out favors to Big Tech

Trump admin ranks companies on loyalty while handing out favors to Big Tech

The Trump administration has been accused of using regulatory enforcement actions as a means of rewarding or punishing companies based on their loyalty and support for the president. A report has revealed that the US government has halted enforcement actions against 165 corporations, with tech giants such as Amazon, Facebook, and Google being among the primary beneficiaries. The article suggests that the administration has selectively enforced regulations, allowing some companies to escape scrutiny while cracking down on others, particularly those perceived as being critical of the president. This practice has raised concerns about the politicization of regulatory enforcement and the potential for abuse of power. The report highlights the apparent favoritism shown towards large technology companies, despite ongoing antitrust investigations and calls for increased regulation of the industry. The article underscores the need for greater transparency and accountability in the government's regulatory practices to ensure a level playing field for all businesses.
