This could lead to more actions by the Trump admin administration against European countries.

Not anti-trust but Cook called Trump to complain about the Irish tax outcome where Apple has to pay something like $14b

What happens if tech companies, long seemingly supporting Democrats are wooed by Trump with promises of bullying Europe with more tariffs to stop them from going after American companies.

This would result in tech companies supporting Republicans due to the finanical benefit while controlling the messaging on their platforms

For example "Instagram and Threads will start recommending political content to users in the US." After a few years of either limiting it or providing an option(? Unsure)
