"The Trump administration has halted or ended a third of misconduct investigations and enforcement actions targeting technology firms - including behemoths such as Meta, Tesla, and Google."
"Rick Claypool stated, 'The Trump administration is protecting lawbreaking corporate insiders from accountability instead of protecting Americans from corporate lawbreaking.'"
"A combined $1.2 billion spent by the tech corporations attempting to influence the president demonstrates a significant financial commitment to maintaining favorable treatment."
"Claypool added, 'For insiders, corporate crime pays,' highlighting the leniency towards Big Tech in pursuit of profit."
The Trump administration has discontinued or suspended enforcement against 165 companies, with the technology sector benefiting significantly. A report from Public Citizen reveals that a third of investigations into misconduct at tech firms like Meta and Google have been halted. Major contributions to Trump's inaugural fund by these corporations, totaling $1.2 billion, indicate a strong financial interest in influencing the administration. Critics assert that this leniency sends a troubling message regarding the consequences of corporate lawbreaking for allied companies.
