Tech world watches Trump's address

Tonight's address will give a window into whether the "let's build" coalition that holds key positions in Trump's administration can project their values above those of his ideological base. Expect that battle of wills to have deep repercussions across tech policy for months and years to come.
The article from Politico's Digital Future Daily newsletter discusses the tech industry's reaction to former President Donald Trump's address at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). Trump's speech, which included promises to dismantle the "deep state," resonated with tech leaders and investors who are concerned about regulatory overreach and the potential for government control over the internet. The piece highlights how Trump's rhetoric on reducing regulations and his past actions, like the repeal of net neutrality, have historically been viewed favorably by some in the tech sector. However, there's also a segment of the tech community wary of Trump's approach, fearing it might lead to less accountability for big tech companies. The article also touches on the broader implications of Trump's potential policies on digital privacy, content moderation, and the overall landscape of tech regulation, with industry insiders split on whether his return would be beneficial or detrimental to innovation and free speech online.
