Reply To: “Big Tech”: Too much power?

charliehall,

“Yes, but Republicans have long opposed antitrust laws and have packed the courts with sympathetic judges”

As I said in the OP, I think this issue transcends partisanship. Both sides of the aisle have been feckless in their response to the assault on our privacy, partly because many elected officials don’t understand the technology, partly because those who do utilize the personal data harvesting to their advantage, and partly because the tech companies contribute to campaigns.

“It will be years before the federal govenment will be able to do anything about the problem and even then that will be only true if Democrats continue to control the White House and Congress.”

Do you think our current laws and even the Constitution are sufficient to protect our interests with respect to these new and emerging technologies and the interests that wield them?
