Ever wonder why Silicon Valley seems omnipotent in every arena, not only in
technology and business but also in government, public policy, academia,
the media and more? We are in an unprecedented age, where a few powerful
technology companies have bent the internet to serve their monopolistic and
libertarian goals. As tech executives accrue their fortunes, individual
artists and content creators have been abandoned by platforms built upon
the spoils of copyright infringement. Few realize how entwined big
technology and Washington are or the impact this has for small businesses
and individual workers. In the past, businesses built on addiction and
erosion of customer privacy have been regulated, taxed and brought in line
due to consumer demands and concerns from public health and government
watchdogs. Today, Google, Facebook, Amazon, YouTube and the like have spun
out of control right under our fingertips.
