Lmao what? If the world were sane and hostile to big tech, we would've nuked them all years ago for all the bullshit they pulled and continue to pull. Big tech has politicians in their pockets, but thankfully the "populist techno-pessimist" (read: normal people who are sick of billionaires exploiting the entire planet) are finally starting to turn their opinions, albeit slowly.
If we lived in a sane world Cambridge Analytica would've been the death knell of Facebook and all of the people involved with it. But we instead live in a world where psychopathic pieces of shit like Zucc get away with it, because they can just buy off any politician who knocks on their doors.
- xvector 2y ago> normal people who are sick of billionaires exploiting the entire planet Don't understand what big tech does for humanity and how much they rely on it in the day to day. Literally all of their modern conveniences are enabled by big tech.
- defrost 2y agoRather dismissive particularly as Crowdstrike has laid a good chunk of that bare. In my experience many 'normal people' understand far more than you deign credit, many are able to forgo modern 'conveniences' if pressed.
- xvector 2y agoCrowdstrike merely shows how much people depend on big tech and they don't even realize how much they rely on it. I think you have too much faith in the average person. They scarcely understand how nearly everything in their life has been manufactured on or designed on something powered by big tech.
