    They’re based in the USA, they have to work with the government or they’ll be targeted/taken over/shut down, surely?

    They could try to escape the USA and move all their operations to Europe, but I think they’re just going to stick where they are and do whatever the fascists want them to do. So long as they’re getting paid why should they care?
