Microsoft stifled innovation, bought their Monopoly from the DOJ and managed to keep computer users dumb and in the dark for thirty years. Google degraded continuously and then dropped their "don't be evil." All well before Trump.

Is it worse than terribly bad under a fascist regime? Even less rule of law for them, even more opportunities for corruption. Probably somewhat, yeah.
It wouldn't have been so bad though had we all switched to free software, like you've been told to do for 30 years.
