I suspect the backlash won't come from government, but from the "people". It will also not be directed exclusively at big tech, but at all tech - and to an extent all technicians. I don't see this occurring for another 5 years or so, but when (if) it does, it will not be pretty.
- iainmerrick 9y agoWhy do you expect that to happen? Most people use Facebook, Amazon and Google all the time and are perfectly happy with them, ads included. (Edit: added a couple more big companies) Is there an example of another business sector that was radically changed due to massive public outcry? I can't think of any. There's tobacco, maybe, but that was a long slow process of government regulation, and the tobacco companies are still around.
