The Inexorable Globalization Of Big Tech, With Anupam Chander


Listen Later

We've discussed the ongoing challenges the technology sector will face in the months and years to come, in terms of regulation, reputation, competition, and more. Often, our and the wider media's lens is on the U.S. front, and how changes in U.S. federal or state policy might affect U.S. companies, and how they might react.

In today's episode, he talks about that global context for tech companies, the inevitability that internet usage and globalization is going to expand, and how last year's Tik Tok / U.S. government kerfuffle highlights a risk from poorly thought government action.
