Battle Ahead in Big Tech
Quote from Ndubuisi Ekekwe on February 25, 2019, 6:07 PMThis is how Fortune (in a newsletter) sees the big tech as it becomes clear that regulation is on the way. Largely, aggregation which has made Google and Facebook to create their empires using “other people’s works” [yes, other people intellectual properties] will come under attacks. We will be watching!
At the heart of the efforts is the realization that while preaching the virtues of connecting with one’s friends (Facebook), making the world’s information easily accessible (Google), and making everything cheaper for consumers (Amazon), these and other behemoths have done considerable harm. They have trafficked in the personal data of their users, cheapened the value of intellectual property they didn’t create, and crushed the businesses of competitors near and far.
