Data privacy is one of the biggest issues facing Big Tech companies. Big Tech corporations such as Google, Amazon and Facebook are rapidly losing public trust, as a result of failures to keep sensitive data safe. Where once these technology giants were seemingly immune to scrutiny over data laws, the tide is now turning and accountability is key.
Big Tech companies have long evaded prosecution for data breaches, election manipulation and promotion of terrorist material. Recently, however, public trust has fallen and large companies such as these are seen as a bigger threat to society than bankers in 2007. Public outrage following the actions and failures of these companies is a driving force for change, and regulators are now forced to take action.
Big Tech companies no longer retain public trust, which is a risk to businesses in the sector
