Let's Get To The Bottom of That
Society & Culture
(This is a best-of show that was originally published on December 16th, 2022 called Big Tech)
Social Media Platforms like Facebook, X, TikTok, Snapchat, and Instagram have consumed our lives for decades now, are we any better off as a society than before they were a part of our lives?
Google, Apple, and Amazon have grown so big they have more wealth than small countries. And the government has formed a partnership with these big tech giants and can censor speech from American citizens that they deem harmful.
Big tech companies currently wield more power than any government on earth, and the US government is in its pocket.
Today 6 media giants control 90% of what we read, watch, or listen to.
· Comcast/NBC Universal
· Disney/ABC
· CBS
· Viacom
· News Corporation
· AT&T
These 6 corporations are giving us the illusion of choice and objectivity. The rise of the internet has given these companies unprecedented power to control public policy, swing elections, brainwash our children, censor content, track our every move, tear societies apart, alter the human mind, and even re-engineer humanity.
