WE MUST BREAK UP BIG TECH
IT'S THE GREATEST PRIVATE THREAT TO LIBERTY IN OUR MODERN AGE
I haven’t always seen Big Tech as a big problem... Libertarian-leaning conservatives like me, who came of age under the presidency of George W. Bush before riding the Tea Party wave of the 2008, were steeped in a political movement that gave wide latitude and deference to the free market, focusing instead on the perils and pitfalls of big government. The corrupt and distorting threat of big government remains a real and present danger. But in 2013, I noticed a peculiar nexus between big government and big business that fundamentally altered how I looked at the “private” industries of Big Tech.
