It’s Time to Treat Big Tech Like Public Infrastructure - Not Untouchable Titans (with sources & future implications)

Google, Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft don’t just sell products anymore - they are and continue to shape speech, work, markets, and now AI itself. A recent Globe and Mail piece have pointed out that we are long overdue to treat Big Tech less like untouchable innovators and more like critical infrastructure that needs oversight This was something which was already on my mind for a few weeks coz as AI accelerates, this gap becomes dangerous... decisions about data, algorithms, and access are being made by a handful of firms with global impact and minimal oversight. regulation doesn’t have to kill innovation, but please, pretending these platforms are “just companies” feels increasingly unrealistic what do we think - should we govern tech before the next crisis, not after (coz we've seen too many movies to know its bound to happen)?
