About this episode
Big tech companies are playing an outsized role in our world and are increasingly involved in creating policy that has negative impacts on democracies. In her book The Tech Coup, Marietje Schaake argues that companies need to be reined in, and that democracies need to organize themselves in ways that can withstand the challenges posed by these companies and their increasingly imperious owners.
Marietje joins Dave for a spirited post-election conversation about how the Tech Coup is playing out right now, and what we can do about it.
