      Trump cozies up to Big Tech specifically because their corporate surveillance network can be co-opted to turbocharge the fascist dictatorship he’s putting in place, and also because he needs their resources for his crypto scams.

        The backdoors have been there for years without dinners. The CEOs are not stupid. If we see it as a humiliation then they won’t feel honored.

          Yes of course. Corruption and sucking up to the powers that be is nothing new.

          What’s new - at least in the United States - is the willingness of those ultra-rich sycophants to perform the Dear Leader song-and-dance publicly without any shame. It’s really quite nauseating to watch.
