You Are Being Played by Big Tech

In this episode of Builders of the Broken Bazaar, Dr Tabish Zaman speaks with Mona Fowzy — CEO of JaneTech and a software engineer with over 25 years across EA, AOL, Yahoo, CBS, and global scientific labs — about why we don’t need more technology at all.

We need less hype, less manipulation, and far more courage to question the systems shaping our lives.

Together, they explore:

• Why most new technology fixes nothing but extracts everything

• How AI, crypto, and surveillance tools manufacture fear, urgency, and dependency

• How everyday people are turned into test subjects for corporate agendas

• Why engineers have become foot soldiers for political and military power

• How Big Tech’s greed has erased usability, access, and trust

• Why the most “advanced” products are often the most exploitative

• Why real progress won’t come from Silicon Valley, but from ignored communities

• And how Palestine reveals exactly who technology was designed to privilege — and who it was built to erase

🎙 “The real risk isn’t being left behind — it’s being led blindly.”
