The Rise of Big Tech (2021)

The Rise of Big Tech (2021) documentary reveals the astronomic growth trajectory of tech mega-corporations like Apple, Google, Facebook/Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon.

These companies aren’t just about gadgets and entertainment; they’ve become a ubiquitous part of our daily lives.

However, their sudden rise to power carries a dark side. Big Tech’s dominance extends beyond sales and profits. They control algorithms that shape our online experiences.

Even slight changes in their platforms can devastate smaller companies that rely on them.

These giants influence politics through lobbying and campaign contributions. Their opaque tax practices raise questions. For instance, Facebook’s tax cuts in exchange for data centers impact local communities.

Big Tech gobbles up competitors. The more subscribers they have, the more value they gain. Apple’s 30% cut from app store sales faces congressional scrutiny.

They access vast amounts of our data. How they use it is up to them, and they monetize it. Market-driven surveillance raises concerns about privacy and misinformation.

As they grow, it becomes harder to challenge them. They bury or assimilate competition. Our governments and we, as customers, must navigate this ever-changing landscape.

In this documentary, we unlock the secrets of Big Tech—a cautionary reminder that powerful regulation and responsible practices are utmost.
