data – Watch documentaries of all time https://ctrlf.xyz Sun, 18 May 2025 08:08:19 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 Google, Facebook, Amazon – The rise of the mega-corporations | https://ctrlf.xyz/2022/05/19/google-facebook-amazon-the-rise-of-the-mega-corporations-dw-documentary/ https://ctrlf.xyz/2022/05/19/google-facebook-amazon-the-rise-of-the-mega-corporations-dw-documentary/#respond Thu, 19 May 2022 16:00:12 +0000 https://ctrlf.xyz/2022/05/19/google-facebook-amazon-the-rise-of-the-mega-corporations-dw-documentary/ Mega-corporations like Amazon and Facebook are becoming more powerful. And their growth shows no signs of slowing down. They are in the public eye — but are they also above the law?

The pandemic has only made the “big four” — Apple, Amazon, Google and Facebook — more influential. Our data has become big business. But are these corporations out of control?

Experts have long watched as corporations like Apple and Amazon flout antitrust laws, while receiving special treatment: When it comes to wages, taxes and laws, these corporations seem to rewrite the rules as they go. Many critics consider Facebook and Google’s systematic data exploitation a violation of our core democratic principals. Moreover, the line between the state and mega-corporations is growing even foggier. Some states believe there is simply no way around these giants. Corporate power seems like it is here to stay.

Market driven surveillance undermines our sovereignty and thus the very foundation of Western democracies. There is a storm brewing both in the U.S. and Europe. But the corporations are ready for it. Will they continue on this dangerous trajectory, or is there some chance we can still rein them in?

Digital trust and cyber security are crucial for digital business. Who controls our digital identity?

The bits and bytes can serve our interests or be used against us. More than ever before, we have to trust computer systems. In terms of internet usage and social media penetration, Thailand is growing faster than nearly any other nation. How do its startups deal with personal data, privacy settings and cyber security? Our digital data can help or harm us. Without digital trust there can be no digital business. As the digital revolution unfolds, whether we like it or not, we leave behind trails of data. It has become nearly impossible to remain anonymous. Using algorithms, scientists and businesses can now interpret ever larger amounts of information about us. ‘Big Data’ is being utilized in new ways – to make our lives easier and solve our problems, but also to earn money with our personal information. In terms of internet usage and social media penetration, Thailand is growing at an incredible pace. According to a recent survey, Thais spend an average 9.38 hours per day online, but privacy and data protection are not widely discussed in the country. Young people in particular tend to trust more in technology than in political institutions. Our Founders’ Valley host looks at how startups deal with personal data and cyber security. How is social media changing us and the societies we build? And how can we retain control of our digital identity while continuing to reap the benefits?
