There are so many ways in which big tech is complicit with what’s happening in the US right now, but corporations have no home.
Lack of regulations, cozying up with an authoritarian, and a populace still with significant funds to drain keep them safely within bounds while things like the GDPR keep them at bay in Europe. But rest assured, once things become too difficult/drained over here, they’ll start pushing the boundaries. Likely through grassroots campaigns to make Europeans distrust the GDPR (what is the general consensus on this anyways? as an American it looks pretty good to me but I’ve never lived under it).
Big tech is a behemoth unto itself, and will need to be fought as such. Put up strong protections now while you can.
