Don't fool yourself, they own both sides. The only difference is that each special interest will pick a side to publicly donate to, and then funnel dark money to the other - gotta cover those bases.

Big Tech is pro-regulation at this point, at least the regulations that make the cost of entry for new companies prohibitively expensive.

No, they don't kiss up to parties, the parties kiss up to them. They want this so they can force users to hand over PII and let them track them to access content.

Companies handle/hand over PII, not users.

I never said anything about kissing up, I said donations/bribes.
