Trump famously claimed he doesn't use a computer, but he does partake (too much) in communicating with his followers via Twitter, where he has bashed big-time tech companies like Apple, Google and Amazon.
Most notably, Trump criticized Apple when the company refused to hand over a code for accessing locked iPhones to authorities investigating the 2015 San Bernardino terrorist attack.

And as Trump prepares to take office, concern has been raised as to how he will tackle net neutrality, an issue that Trump has (in)famously opposed, especially when President Obama advocated having the FCC reclassify broadband internet as a utility like water or electricity. (This allows for more stringent regulation of companies that provide internet access.)

Trump has few allies in Silicon Valley aside from Thiel, who spoke at this summer's Republican National Convention. The PayPal founder has also been serving as a member of Trump's transition team.
You may also remember Thiel as the man who helped fund Hulk Hogan's Gawker-crushing lawsuit, which raised concerns about free speech.
