Can big tech and privacy coexist? | Carole Cadwalladr and Chris Anderson

摘要

Carol Cadwalader and Chris Anderson discuss the rise of techno-oligarchies, in which big tech leaders and the Trump administration are seen as creating a new kind of autocracy in America. The conversation explores how Silicon Valley is aiding this through illegal access to national data, while also questioning whether there's a rationale in their actions. Cadwalader emphasizes the importance of respecting laws and the dangers of unchecked power in tech companies.
