The title indicates the article is specifically about big tech companies.
There are none of those from China, Russia, China, Iran.
I presume technology companies from those countries are used in support to authoritarian governments, but that sounds like a separate issue of how "big tech" as we understand it operate.
- mc32 1y agoThere are big technology companies in those countries. They may not have the reach with the exception of TikTok which has reach into the west. I take issue because they bring up big tech influence into geographies outside “the western world” but big tech has little penetration there and they should pint that out.
- surgical_fire 1y agoWhen I read "Big Tech" with this casing, I think of companies such as MS, Meta, Google, Amazon, etc. Maybe I do have a faulty understanding of the term? Perhaps TikTok is the closest thing to that outside of that group.
