I think the thing is that people like yourself are probably conscientiously indifferent to the attraction, influence and dependency that “Big Tech” produces. If this isn’t the case for you, then allow me to speak for myself then. I think the very thought that the author is sharing is an overreaction, but it it’s a sign of the times that it even generates a conversation or that some people can even liken it to government intervention in the telephone business. I’m indifferent to the concept itself, but I find the idea in the context of the modern world and the dominant global culture…dramatic.

Not at all. I just think it’s obvious that the sentiment has been waning for some time now. Who is going around saying how great big tech is?

I think that that’s the thing. They don’t have to say that. The attention that their products get, good or bad, speaks loudly enough.
