The two are intertwined. We saw enough of that last November.
No, you’ve got to make the distinction because blurr is exactly what the Left wants.
“Big Tech” does NOT equal the $4 trillion mostly unconstitutional federal government.
Big Tech is privately owned to the degree government hasn’t bribed their way into illegal/hidden ownership. Private parties giving money to government for favors is not illegal. Government taking bribes IS unconstitutional, illegal, and grounds for impeachment.
Big Tech: CHOICE. As a consumer, you voluntarily buy or don’t buy a product from a Big Tech company. A Big Tech company can do nothing to you if you reject them. The answer to the Google’s and FB’s of the world is NOT more unconstitutional government takeover, but FREE AND OPEN COMPETITION from the rich and savvy Patriotic Right. To the degree there is free and open competition (no government interface), Big Tech will try their best to be your friend and attract you to their products. You, as the buyer have the final say.
Big Government: FORCE. Government FORCES you to use their product and if you say no, the IRS will come after you. Government is very good and efficient at taking away your money, your freedom and your life. No qualms about doing so. Big government is NOT your friend and has no interest in being your friend. Government has the final say unless you’re ready for war.
