The unsurprising thing is that people here think that this is left-tech activism. The true cool-aid[1] is this particular tech ideology which is all about “liberty” on the surface but is either agnostic of or embraces privatization.[2] Yeah, unsurprisingly the author explicitly embraces “the tech industry”. It’s just gone wrong or too far. It’s not like the good old privatization in the old days.
Wanting tech companies to be regulated more in this day and age of such extreme tech behemoth domination is left-wing activism in the same sense as (not being a Peter Thiel-style maniac) = left-wing.
