with CEOs like Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter’s Jack Dorsey were typical for a party seeking to boost its appeal to tech-savvy young voters.But this year’s Democratic presidential field is sounding a much different message — from Bernie Sanders’ complaints about Amazon’s wages and tax avoidance to Amy Klobuchar’s pledge to enact data privacy laws.
Klobuchar sounded the theme at the very start of her campaign, during the announcement speech in February where she stood in blowing snow in Minneapolis.The 2020 Election. The New Congress. The Mueller Investigation. Be in the Know.By signing up you agree to receive email newsletters or alerts from POLITICO. You can unsubscribe at any time.
Even Cory Booker, a Stanford grad with close ties to Silicon Valley, used a recent NPR interview to lump tech in with other powerful lobbies that need to be reined in. "We need to make sure that whether it's Silicon Valley or the pharma industry or the big ag, we need to hold people accountable for their actions," he said.
Should a Democrat win the White House from President Donald Trump, the tech industry might find itself the target of serious efforts to tame what Pete Buttigieg — the 37-year-old mayor of South Bend, Ind., and a long-shot White House hopeful — calls tech's "complete Wild West environment."
Big Tech is full of illiberal incels
They aren't attacks. They are changes that Silicon Valley doesn't want. If you can't police yourself, your business, and economics for the betterment of all rather than just yourself, you need to be policed by someone else.
Roxy4080 I don’t think there is so much a turn against the technology industry as there is a desire to hold them accountable when they allow bad behavior to flourish
LOL nice try POLITICO but the truth is Democrats/leftists/progressives and their mainstream fake news media sycophants are securely in the back pocket of the technology industry.
The real answer to big tech is FOSS software, like the Ubuntu Linux I am running now, or some other distro. Some version or fork of Mastodon will could be replacing these social media companies. She could hurry it along by moving the government to their own Linux distro.
This is not a move against technology.... it is a move against MONOPOLIES.
