Big Tech

Big Tech has controlled the online sphere for long enough. They take advantage of their platforms and block competitors from reaching consumers and suppress the voice of rival products. They have your information, and many times, they are not clear with how they use it. A key priority at the Attorney General’s office is safeguarding Texans’ online content and returning the web to a fair playing field where everyone has a chance to succeed.

What is "Big Tech"?

"Big Tech” commonly refers to key players in the online space, such as Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft.  

Why should I be concerned about Big Tech?

Big Tech companies essentially control the marketplace and can select the winners and losers of this market. They also have access to many consumers' data without clear explanation with how they are using it, and instead of creating products to appeal to consumers, they buy out companies outright to gain loyalty.
