US tech helped the US administration get there, and instead of speaking up, gives it gold trinkets for special favors.

I doubt US tech understands.

For one, they are deeply in bed with the current administration (for any definition of current, past, and future).

For another, they fight tooth and nail any and all sovereignity of data even within their own walled gardens. See decade of battles by Google, Apple, Facebook etc. in the EU.

> US Tech does understand, US Administration does not.

US tech bros got a front-row seat, sitting in front of Cabinet picks, at the inauguration:

The tech bros lining up at Donald’s inauguration to kiss his ring suggests otherwise.

Trump wrecks everything he touches.
