Comment by intended

It feels like an exercise in futility to ring the alarm on HN.

This is happening in India, Australia and will happen everywhere in the world.

Tech is now the “bad guy”. Voters are tired of tech firms and want tech firms to be held accountable for the “bad stuff they do”.

Actual research and evidence is held back because even if Tech is well meaning, they do not allow negative research results to be shared.

While this information void is growing, Governments are champing at the bit to bring tech firms to heel within their jurisdictions.

The alignment of incentives allows only one direction for things to go.

We do not need global lobbying to achieve this result.
