my most "conservative" point on vectorialism is that it talks about Big Tech without being specific about what this term means
what makes a private entity Big Tech? would a successful co-op (that still makes a profit, but distributes it to members and not share-holders) that produces some form of digital tech count as Big Tech?
how "big" does a for-profit entity have to be? how many employees? is anyone making a profit from digital tech automatically Big Tech?

the danger i see in hand-waving the term Big Tech is that it obscures the intentions of people, and their theoretical foundation is Big Tech defines from a foundation of rejecting for-profit, private companies? or rejecting private property as a whole? or just rejecting the models of things like AdTech and algorithmic inequality? this vagueness is the same thing, in abstract, as laws written so that the application is impossible to predict. who is the target? who decides?
