Maybe tech companies should design AI platforms with safety built in from the start, instead of treating harm as a PR problem after the fact.
Typical Big Tech: maximize engagement, downplay the risks, and blame users when things go wrong. š

Metaās empire was built by buying threats before they could become real competitors.
Now, 29 states are backing the FTCās antitrust appeal, while Texas is challenging WhatsAppās privacy promises. Itās about time. šŖš¼

Always love to see @SenWarren calling out Big Tech, and her latest op-ed on AI is no exception. š
Big Tech wants us to believe the AI future is inevitable. Itās not. We can choose guardrails, competition, and accountability.
"Americans are hanging on by their fingernails in an economy that funnels wealth to the ultra-rich and leaves crumbs for working people. AI threatens to supercharge this divide," writes Sen. Elizabeth Warren time.com/article/2026/05/27/ā¦

Big Tech is reshuffling operations to pay for the massive AI spending spree no one asked for.
And who pays the price? Employees, consumers, and local communities. š

So Google is training Gemini on YouTube videos?
Typical Big Tech, using the work of creators to train AI models, reshape search, and potentially keep more traffic inside its own ecosystem.
Funny how āinnovationā always seems to mean taking first and asking later. š

The AI order was voluntary. It gave companies a chance to let the government review dangerous frontier models before public release.
And even that was apparently too much for David Sacks and Big Techās allies. So much for serious AI oversight. š

So much for the White House warming up to light AI regulation. Trump has postponed the exec order on voluntary testing, saying he doesn't want to do anything that could slow down the US AI industry in its race against China

While Washington drags its feet, state AGs are taking up the antitrust mantle.

People are mad at Big Tech for good reason: data centers, AI harms, job fears, and corporate power run amok.
The Trump administrationās response? Reportedly label āanti-tech extremismā as a threat. š
Thatās not public safety. Thatās protecting Big Tech from accountability.

The DMA was supposed to move fast. Big Tech is betting regulators wonāt.
The principles are right: stop gatekeepers from rigging markets, protect competitors, and give small businesses a fair shot. Now the EU needs to enforce them like it means it. šŖš¼
