They’ve always been anti-expansive-copyright, which has historically aligned with much (but not all) of big tech, and against big content/media.
A lot of the people that were anti-expansive-copyright only because it was anti-big-media have shifted to being pro-expansive-copyright because it is perceived as being anti-big-tech (and specifically anti-AI).

There's nothing pro-bigtech in this proposal. Big tech can afford the license fees and lawsuits... and corner the market. The smaller providers will be locked out if an extended version of the already super-stretched copyright law becomes the norm.
