  • The Danger of Big Tech and What Vermont is Doing About It

    The Danger of Big Tech and What Vermont is Doing About It
    Jun 27 2024
    Monique Priestly is a first term member of the Vermont House of Representatives and secured passage of data privacy bill 139-0. Then the lobbying started. Google, Facebook. All the big ones. Then the small ones. Then the big trade associations like the National Retail federation and others with names that sound like they care about consumers like the state Privacy and Security Coalition. Vermont Governor Phil Scott vetoed the bill this month. But Priestly will not back down. My favorite question was: Who is more dangerous to Americans? Mark Zuckerberg or Jeff Bezos? Priestly says - and she is right - that there is no reason for Big Tech and advertisers and data brokers across the country to have unfettered access to our personal information. And there is certainly no reason for them to be selling it to each other so they can profit off our information and sell more stuff. Oh - the answer to the most dangerous man in America question? Stay tuned for my talk with Monique Priestly, suddenly the most dangerous person in the country to the Big Tech scam.
