BIG TECH AND BIG GOVERNMENT
Apple CEO Tim Cook personally called House Speaker Nancy Pelosi about thwarting congressmen who want to rein in Big Tech.
“The calls by Mr. Cook are part of a forceful and wide-ranging pushback by the tech industry,” the New York Times reported.
“Executives, lobbyists, and more than a dozen think tanks and advocacy groups paid by tech companies have swarmed Capitol offices, called and emailed lawmakers and their staff members, and written letters arguing there will be dire consequences for the industry and the country” if Congress succeeds in curtailing the power of Big Tech.
