Those same Big Tech CEOs turned around and went all in on Donald Trump – personally and through their companies.
They decimated election integrity teams, and they altered their products to change the information we receive.

The call to action still stands. The problem is only getting worse. https://www.salon.com/2024/11/25/tech-ceos-sell-out-democrats-in-rush-to-curry-favor-with/
Are we the United States of Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, and Jeff Bezos? Or can we claw back a country that represents people and not outsized corporate titans?
