Companies like google are indeed out of control and creating a dystopian future. Amongst other things, Google has already unleashed bots that arbitrarily destroy livelihoods (e.g. automated account terminations, in markets where there are few, if any alternatives to Google). I have found that dealing with companies like Google is eerily similar to dealing with an authoritarian government (e.g. they don't care about normal individuals), and as such companies gain more control over society (and governments) it actually becomes a major political issue, perhaps the political issue of our time. At the beginning of the Internet age, I felt that tech could provide the path to liberation, but now I fear that it also provides a potential path to supression.
