Is Big Tech the Greatest Threat to Our Freedom?

Ever since their inception, Big Tech companies have held themselves up as pillars of free speech; but recent events have made it clear that their influence is endangering that freedom. We should be concerned by how they are using their significant power to decide what we can say, publish, and link to.

America is a better nation when we have a diversity of opinion and thought, not censorship at the hands of tech companies.

Whether it’s the government we elect or the tech companies we subscribe to, anything that decides our freedoms for us is dangerous and damaging. We are a free country and in control of our own destiny. We should get to choose the content we consume and draw our own conclusions and no group or company should be deciding this for us.

This censorship by nefarious means is why the EU is considering a proposal to break up the top 20 Big Tech companies. As American consumers and investors, this is something we should be paying close attention to.

Why should we all be concerned by the recent actions Facebook, Twitter and Google have taken? What can we learn from the EU in regards to curtailing the power of tech monopolies? In this episode, I discuss why tech’s involvement in media censorship is a huge problem.
