That falls short of explaining Big Tech. In fact, I find the issue to be quite the opposite: greed incarnate though they may also be, those zucking us do believe in changing the world; they're billionaires, therefore they know better than us and they can, and must, guide us to utopia or protect us from dystopia, which means their means are justified, all of them, as their wealth is our wealth and their detriment is our detriment.
