Let's stop calling them "big tech" and start calling them "tech oligarchs".
"Big tech" is too ambiguous. E.g. Linux could be called "big tech" too.
Also the problematic aspect is immediately revealed: the individuals at the top, their corruption and misuse of the power.

I think this should be off-putting for any self-respecting NZer. The parties should also, perhaps, lose popular support due to their willingness to accept the money. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/in-depth/589237

It's shocking how easily Trump's billionaire tech oligarchs could buy Twitter and the Washington Post and destroy them. Who cares about a couple of billion if the regime enables you to claw back much more than that?

Venezuela will be administered by "a group of people"?
I think he means oligarchs?

Like in Orbšn's Hungary, Trump's oligarchs take control of the media. There goes CNN.

Wow, this is good to see. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2qEyQ_0C-8 I wonder when Aotearoa NZ will work out that it's in this hole at least as deep as France? Will this coalition keep licking the Trump administration's boots? Those of the BigTech oligarchs?

But the idea here is to keep kids safe!
No: the idea is to assign identity to every user and try to monitor and control the internet though corporate means.
That’s the only reason we’re talking seriously about the laws that government and capital are trying to pass.
That lobbying money is not being spent to protect kids.
The Epstine-class oligarchs doing this don’t give a damn about your children’s safety let alone some useless counter productive methods of ensuring it.
I don’t trust the government with totalitarian power nor the companies they would employ to run their age-gate for them, nor the companies currently running social media.
They are the ones running the algorithms that are pushing propaganda at your kids right now.
