Big Tech makes big decisions over our lives: What products we see, how we feel about world events, what to censor – to some degree, even what medical decisions we make. Yet who controls Big Tech? The firms are so powerful and rich they really act as judge and jury now. Increasingly, they are accountable to no one. ‘Defending Democracy (and us!) from Big Tech’ is a three-episode docu-series from the Debugger Podcast exploring the depths of the problem… and the potential for solutions.  Listen to Defending Democracy on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/saving-democracy-part-1-too-big-to-sue/id1513813636?i=1000556683812  Listen to Defending Democracy on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/52tth0UkfXJ3VQxc94wDo8?si=fIDnE0rWQTuX-BcOkhpoGg&nd=1  Learn more about your ad choices.
