It's arrogant to assume they're trying to undermine governments, but it's naive to assume they're trying to empower people. Tech companies above a certain size are interested in making money, period. They'll back whatever agenda they think will help them make money. Sometimes that lines up with the general public good. Never assume it will always remain so.
