Then you're not paying attention. U.S tech companies are the envy of the world, and every country is looking to limit or cripple them in some way. TikTok is a prime example of how government support has allowed a foreign tech company to unseat what should be an unmoving dominance of western tech. Without equally aggressive support it's only a matter of time before the magnificent 7 are gone, and the Biden admin seemed to be working in the opposite direction.
If you watch their actions it's clear they're already planning it either way. Australia and Canada are pretty much running extortion on social media companies to subsidize local industry, the EU is trying to break up and companies with stuff like DMA, and of course other markets like China don't even bother pretending to care for our companies. As much as I dislike someone like Vance, his willingness to threaten countries for their plans to regulate Twitter is the kind of support big tech needs that the Biden admin had no interest in giving.
I strongly disagree with you here. I think big tech has become way too powerful and has increasingly been wielding said power for evil. I think breaking it up and regulating it is the way forward if we want to save our democracies.
See? You fundamentally don't care about big tech, so why should it care about you? I care about big tech because big tech is America. We've invested all our best and most productive people into tech, and it carries our whole economy and U.S hegemony in general. I don't want to cripple our industry or let someone usurp it. I want democrats to work with big tech to minimize the harm domestically while maintaining dominance.
Big tech is America? What are you even talking about? Big Tech is a tiny fraction of America that's increasingly hated by the rest of the country - and the world.
It's actively harmful to US hegemony, too, with industry leaders starting fights with your closest allies.
