This list is absurd for two reasons. First, it tunnel visions on tech companies without having the self awareness to note that most of the things it criticizes these companies for are shared by all capitalist enterprise. Just look at the list of evils committed by Amazon. Poor working conditions? Cutthroat competition? Seeking taxpayer subsidies? Manipulating the tax code to achieve a lower bill? Working closely with the government? Kowtowing to China?

How on earth are any of these things unique to Amazon or tech?

And the second flaw is resultant from Slate being a propaganda outlet for big city liberals--absolutely no mention of the campaign of Democrat supported free speech suppression that these platforms have embarked on.

Also it tends to ignore it minimize things like:

Child slavery

Cancer research suppression

Climate change research suppression

Massive pollution

Inciting war for profit

Etc.

That actual companies do today that are genuinely and knowingly evil.
