I love tech. But you're implying that what tech means to me is basically just a large company. And in fact I don't love large tech companies. The Internet was much more enjoyable before a sales person got a hold of it. And while I do understand that a lot of really great engineering has come from within these companies it doesn't matter if they are abusing their users. Because Google loves it when their brand is associated with something positive. But Google should also be responsible for owning all of the negative their company and employees build. Finally, I'm an American. I have a very dim view on the positive that Google, Facebook/Meta, Microsoft contribute to society. They're all for profit companies no longer being run with a strong engineering or customer focus. Their goal is to turn more profit. That's not the spirit of tech in my mind. I don't consider any of these companies strong technology contributors anymore. They employ a number of great engineers that still do amazing things. But the companies (the executives, the senior management, the board of directors, etc) are not in it to move the industry in a positive direction. They're in it to make more money. The cost of that misdirection is very high to all. These companies have impacted many lives in very negative ways even though many have never intentionally wanted to use, or be part of, their services. These companies need far more accountability. Hiding behind a company logo should not be something society continues to support.
