Ha, so I learned two things about Moloch today.

I didn't have that strong of an association of Moloch with big cities as it felt like when I looked it up for the above answer, so I googled a bit of its usage on news sites and it looks like in Germany it is almost exclusively used for big cities, whereas in Switzerland, cities is the most common usage but it is applied way more liberally.

Within a minute or so I saw it used to refer to: The EU, a government bicycle program, a 2km long tunnel in Zürich, iTunes, the Tour de France, Goldman Sachs and fashion.
