JD Vance says Big Tech has "too much power"

- Terr_ 2y agoA true statement, but I think we all know this guy isn't gonna be advocating for DMCA reform or consumer data-privacy protections.
- talldayo 2y agoTrue how, though? Does Big Tech have too much power because it's disproportionately irresponsible, or because nobody else innovates like technology does? Did we get here through natural competition or abusing the undeniable de-facto control that OEMs wield? America's problem is that we refuse to regulate our own industries. We create social medias that promote suicidal video challenges and then deny responsibility. We create phones that dis-empower the user and promote advertising and data collection, then refuse to moderate the impact. Between the App Store and ChatGPT, America's primary export is bullshit. And with the advent of TikTok, we're starting to discover that America's domestic bullshit industry is rather weak too. So, what was the solution? Are we ready to admit that Apple, Microsoft and Google cannot be left to their own devices without betraying the market they insist on serving?
- bediger4000 2y agoDid he enumerate which corporations count as "Big Tech"? Doesn't look like it to me. I'd like to see that list or definition before I get on board with this.
- quantified 2y agoOnes that don't pay enough tribute, probably.
