Monopolistic tech giants are really just an extension of the deep state, and they abuse their technology to wield power over the world

There is a very close (and, some would say, “concerning”) relationship forming between tech giants like Google and Amazon and the U.S. national security establishment. Both of these companies are currently in the process of expanding their presence within the intelligence community and building devices capable of everything from facial recognition to reading the moods of people caught on camera.
But while the security establishment has generally praised these companies for providing them useful technology, not everyone is embracing this relationship between Big Tech and the intelligence community. At least in the case of Google, many disgruntled employees are frustrated that the company is slowly being dragged into what they consider to be “the business of war.”
As argued by Tim Johnson of McClatchyDC.com, “In some ways, the evolution of companies born to disrupt the status quo into business giants with a broad array of clients, including the security establishment, is a result of the profits to be made doing business with the federal government.” (Related: Google’s military robot army will soon be ready for a terminator-like assault on humanity.)

Johnson goes on to discuss a Google surveillance engine that uses artificial intelligence to sift through enormous amounts of video footage collected by tactical drones to produce what it refers to as “actionable intelligence and insights at speed.” Testing of this technology is currently being conducted in various locations in Africa and the Middle East. Even though the drone footage has been used successfully in the past to kill members of the Islamic State, roughly 4,000 of Google’s 88,000 employees have already signed a petition demanding that the project be scrapped on the grounds that it would “irreparably damage Google’s brand.”
