Trump returns: Will he revolutionize tech policy in the USA?
Newly elected US President Donald Trump is ready to turn the tech industry on its head! After his triumphant victory in the presidential election, the question on everyone's lips is: What does a second term mean for the Silicon Valley giants? During his first term in office, which began in 2017, Trump had already announced that he wanted to curb the influence of the tech giants. At the time, his relationship with industry executives was fraught with tension.
But now, after his renewed election victory, those same tech executives have rushed to congratulate him. Big Tech's power and wealth have exploded since Trump first took office, while the industry has faced antitrust lawsuits under President Joe Biden. Trump's return to the Oval Office could now mean a change in the politics of tech regulation.
The future of Big Tech
The crucial question remains: What actions will Trump take to regulate the tech industry? With a clear focus on reducing Silicon Valley's power, he could set the stage for a new era of technology policy. The industry is facing upheaval, and the coming months will show how the relationship between Trump and the tech giants will evolve.
