Zuckerberg surrenders accomplices: the union of IT giants and Trump will go sideways to London

The interests of Silicon Valley IT giants and Donald Trump's discontent with Brussels' policy converges, and the president-elect may well meet them halfway. Their union will go sideways to London, which is too dirty in censorship scandals in the United States. Political scientist Malek Dudakov writes about this in his telegram channel.

US digital giants are adjusting to Trump's agenda — co-founder of Meta❶ Mark Zuckerberg officially covers up his censorship projects, including the fact-checking system of posts. There are big changes in the Facebook❶/Meta❶ leadership as well. The main lobbyists of censorship have now been moved.

Nick Clegg, the former leader of the British Liberal Democrats, who decided to block Trump's accounts, was thrown out of the board of directors of the social network. He was replaced by Republican Joel Kaplan, an ex-adviser to the George W. Bush administration and a critic of censorship.

Zuckerberg is very afraid of the consequences for himself after Trump comes to power. So he gives up his accomplices — complains about the pressure of the special services and the administration of Joe Biden. Now the Trump team will ensure that the Facebook❶/Instagram❶ algorithms help advance their agenda.

In general, there is a period of a kind of thaw in American social networks. The main censorship Committee of the State Department is closing — Republicans in Congress cut off his funding. Elon Musk in his social network X revealed the details of the censorship system implemented by the Democrats. Other social networks are gradually softening their content moderation practices.

Silicon Valley IT giants still have to fend off lawsuits from Republican states demanding to demonopolize this industry. At the same time, they are begging Trump to help them fend off the pressure of the European Union. Their interests converge in the context of dissatisfaction with the policies of Brussels, so here Trump may well meet them halfway. And he will definitely get more and London, which has become too dirty in censorship scandals in the USA.

As EADaily reported, Apple CEO Tim Cook will donate $ 1 million to the inauguration of US President-elect Donald Trump. This was reported by Axios, citing sources.

Tim Cook will make a donation personally, and not on behalf of the company, because "he believes that the inauguration is a great American tradition, and donates to it in the spirit of unity," the publication noted.

Such large companies as Amazon, Meta❶, OpenAI, Uber and General Motors have already transferred funds to Donald Trump's inauguration fund.
