News about big tech companies continues to escalate my concerns about the future.

These companies are controlling so much of our economy, culture, and information, and yet are escaping national regulation and taxation so effectively, that they're becoming shadow states: hugely politically and socially powerful, actively competing for power with and over territorial states, but untethered and unaccountable to the people and communities they wield power over.
