The only thing that will stop Google, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, et al. from abusing everyone within their reach is the power of government. Since they're all headquartered in the United States, the U.S. is one of very few governments with the power to have a real effect on these companies. If you live in the U.S., pressure your representative and senators to enact strict information privacy regulations and investigate these companies.
@alexbuzzbee Like yeah, I agree.....BUT
IDK I just get this great cynicism in the idea that power would somehow work against the intrests of power in some other industry.
For the gov to rain down on big tech would be nice, but then again Trump just had a secret meeting with Zucc, GitHub / Microsoft and amazon work for ICE, Google makes image recognition for American drone strikes, and so on.
