So there sure seems to be a trend in the news I'm reading and the conversations I'm having towards portraying large tech firms as villains. It's really widespread and seems to be fully embraced.
Uber seems to have built thier entire business on exploiting drivers. Facebook wants your entire internet experience to happen withing thier "walled garden" where they can profit off all the advertising.
The Chive is feuding with Facebook and Google.
So what's the deal? Is the dream of technology and tech companies as a force for good dead? Are we already sliding into the dystopian future that we feared?
What, in short, is up?
