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?

all in all, i would hope my thoughts on the zine are read in a key of offering avenues for us to collectively think deeply about technology in a more rigorous way i don't reject the basic premise of the zine, namely that tecchies of all types should own up to the damage they do and the potential for radical action on the contrary, i would love a world in digital technologies are taught to people and discussed in a political and ethical key here's to more writing and exploration!

@catileptic It is helpful to unite those who merely disagree with the excessive power and those who have structural issues with capitalist notions of corporation and accountability diffusion.
