Big Tech Embraces New Cold War Nationalism

  > Yet despite these nefarious practices, both tech giants have cunningly marketed themselves as champions for progressive values You have to be quite naive to believe that. Since Google does employ some smart people, maybe computer science education is too vertical. Sometimes passion for tech is abused of course. "We have to support the Pentagon because of China" Yes, yes, if Google doesn't do it, someone worse would come around. Same naivete and the same paranoia for the foundation of the cold war. Good article, although > an international internet with democratically agreed-on oversight is needed is not really the solution at all. Oversight is the problem here in the first place.
