- The core accusation is that their regulatory posture looks like bad-faith capture and rent-seeking, which has left them with little sympathy on issues like regulation and open source.
- The post frames this as a reputational turning point: from “beloved nerd heroes” to “evil anti-competitive behemoths,” with no easy path back.
