COURIER and On with Kara Swisher: How To Take On Big Tech in the Age Of the Surveillance State
Big Tech has been a prominent force in our culture for decades, but it's only more recently that they've become a prominent and problematic force in our government. Kara Swisher is a journalist known for interviewing almost every tech CEO over the course of a quarter century. If there's anyone who knows the ins and outs of how these people think, it's her.
Sitting down with host Tara McGowan, Kara discussed the evolution of tech companies from typical business ventures to major players in the control of our country. She not only shared her unfiltered view of corporate greed and its entanglement with the Trump administration's global power, but offered hope for what the rest of us can do to push back on Big Tech - especially when we're all using their platforms.
