Well the US only got cozy with big tech after it got big, not actually that different than EU policies you mention being around only existing big industries like automotive.
Only China has taken active steps in fostering those companies from nothing.
- wil421 6y agoBig tech has been around for a long time it’s Big Tech FANG that’s new. Apple and Microsoft are not new companies. IBM is old school big tech that’s been cozy with the US Govt for a very long time. Fairchild was big with the government before they produced their first silicon integrated circuit.
