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.
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.
