They’re probably not doing it just because, my guess is that it’s to appeal to the fasci- I mean- conservative government heading the US right now. And yes, I am aware that they are probably going to restrict more stuff as time goes on if they’re unimpeded. I’m just looking for a solid motive
because conservatives are lobbying them to, and they don’t give a shit either way. they know they can’t be replaced without upsetting a huge part of the consumer economy, so it’s easier for them to capitulate than spend any effort fighting it, because they’ll still be making billions and billions each year either way. they give absolutely zero fucks if they’re doing business with a fascist regime or not. they’re betting that the fascists are going to eventually win, so that’s where they’re sticking their eggs.
