"Republicans are more likely to hurt big tech" ... by politicizing big tech. Basically this is everything trump touches turns to shit and the proton CEO just reached out and touched trump. The republican party cannot touch anything today without politicizing it.
Edit/addendum: Portraying brand damage as "real consequences" is definitely wishful thinking/dumb conflation. Democrats legitimately were prosecuting big tech companies for a variety of regulatory transgressions that republicans for sure won't bother to continue.
