It's Trump policy that U.S. tech must be globally dominant.
It's also US policy that its tech corps must be free from:
Regulation. Taxation. Fact checking and monitoring for hate lies, disinformation.
All are now being treated as attacks on the U.S. itself.

U.S. seizes ‘very large’ oil tanker off Venezuelan coast, Trump says

you're telling me a right-wing catholic convert is just a protestant in disguise? shocked
In newly leaked audio, Peter Thiel admits he urged JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral questions — including the ethical development of AI.
He goes even further, branding Leo “the woke American pope” and suggesting he’s a tool of the Antichrist.

I've said it before. I'll say it again:
The modern political press sees itself as a class of permanent courtiers. They don't see themselves as investigative journalists or a Constitutional check on abuse of power.
They think of themselves as both required for the state and unquestionably brilliant.
