Is Big Tech Too Big?

Overview

Join us for the first in our BiGS Debate Series as we debate the proposition:
Big Tech Is Too Big.

From search engines to social media, app stores to AI, a handful of technology companies have reached a scale and market dominance not seen in centuries.

Critics of Big Tech argue that this dominance stifles competition, enables monopolistic practices, and poses a threat to democracy by concentrating power in the hands of a few corporations. They advocate for stronger antitrust enforcement and regulatory interventions to rein in these tech giants.

Opponents counter that Big Tech's scale fosters innovation, drives economic growth, and provides consumers with unparalleled convenience and services. They caution that breaking up or overregulating these companies could stifle technological progress and weaken U.S. global competitiveness.
