Logo após Trump assumir o controle da Casa Branca pela segunda vez, em janeiro de 2025, o dono da Meta, o empresário Mark Zuckerberg, foi às redes sociais anunciar o alinhamento da companhia com o novo governo em Washington. “Vamos trabalhar com o presidente Trump para pressionar os governos ao redor do mundo que estão perseguindo empresas americanas”, afirmou Mark Zuckerberg. A regulação das big techs no Brasil é defendida pelo atual governo brasileiro, gerando tensões com as gigantes da tecnologia e com o governo de Donald Trump, que tem criticado países ou governos que buscam regular as plataformas digitais e criar regras para evitar a prática de crimes no ambiente digital.
