I can’t tell if your joking. Obama definitely was not a conservative, and he actually called a drone strike on a US citizen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anwar_al-Awlaki
However the people right now calling for Orwellian surveillance and restriction of travel are not right wingers.
Remember the PATRIOT Act? Remember the NSA mass surveillance program (which is btw still ongoing)? Remember black sites? Remember Guantanamo Bay? Remember No Fly Lists? Remember the 60 Words? Remember the militarization of the police force? Remember dragnet phone surveillance? ... Remember the PATRIOT Act?
I didn't say it's only right-wingers. I said it's not a partisan phenomenon.
Uh, isn’t that completely opposite though? No conservatives are pushing for government control of the internet, because we already have it with these companies that are directly working with/for the government.
Governments don’t need to build their own spy apparatuses, they just ask FAANG for the data.
It was popular conservative news for weeks that Jen Psaki admitted they were in contact with Facebook to remove problematic posts about topics that were against the Administration's goals.
Their own AG, Merrick Garland said they needed to be careful that this is “walking on thin ice”.
I think you were misunderstanding some of the conservative points of view, I recommend actually speaking to a conservative.
Mass surveillance was and the erosion of civil liberties were literally the biggest parts of post-9/11 legislation to the point where drone striking a US citizen became socially acceptable among conservatives. Conservatives also called for the deaths of Snowden and Assange for "treason".
You can at least admit this isn't a partisan issue even if US politicians love to frame it as one.
