Challenging Corporate Dominance

This chapter explores the socio-economic repercussions of Apple's tax strategies in Ireland and the resulting neglect of pressing social issues like homelessness. It discusses the need for publicly owned alternatives to digital platforms, the importance of interoperability among tech services, and the role of regulatory frameworks in improving corporate accountability. Highlighting the potential shift from capitalism to techno-feudalism, the speakers call for active engagement and solutions to combat the overwhelming influence of large tech companies.
