Summary
The Grip of Big Tech on Federal Govt.
The feds are threatening to regulate Big Tech even as they’re relying on and negotiating multi-billion dollar contracts with the industry. Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colorado) talks about the federal government’s co-dependent relationship with Big Tech and a multi-billion dollar plan to move Pentagon data to The Cloud. He also gives a status report on The Swamp.
