Patrick Courrielche: Time Running Out for Conservatives to Stop Big Tech?s Monopolistic Power

He basically said the reason we need to worry about these tech companies is because their thought process [and] their morals, all of their quirks, the way they view the world goes into their programming, and you see it in the programming.”Courrielche added, “So when they’re not telling you the truth behind their companies, and they’re not being transparent about that, and then they start taking over all of our lives, it becomes this thing where it affects us all.”Academia’s leftism forms the foundation of Silicon Valley’s politics, explained Courrielche.“Most of these major monopolies, if we look at academia and we see what’s going on on college campuses — you just touched on it, how somebody got beat up on a college campus, right? Most of these companies are coming out of that thought process, and then now they’re basically having these monopolies, and they can kick off whoever they want, they can change behavior, they can funnel certain accounts, as we learned this week from James O’Keefe.Courrielche added, “It’s one of those things, now, where people are just starting to wake up to the power that these people have, and that we need to start really thinking about if we are going to allow these monopolies to continue, because they’re just getting bigger and bigger and bigger and more and more powerful.”Large technology companies have usurped the value of copyrighted creative content, noted Courrielche.“They were basically able to steal all of this content — this music and film content — and shift the entire value of copyright from the creators to Silicon Valley and become these monster behemoths that just continue to want to grow and grow,” Courrielche said. Any time some company gets up big enough to potentially challenge them, they buy them up, so it’s not the times of the ’80s where people can just fade away.”Silicon Valley procures political influence in Washington, D.C., warned Courrielche.“As big as they are right now, they want to be even bigger,” stated Courrielche. So it’s going to make more sense for them to break the law and continue to break the law than it is to follow the rules.”“That’s why we on the right need to be thinking about this,” Courrielche said.If Silicon Valley’s increasingly tightening controls over public discourse are not stopped, warned Courrielche, censorship favoring left-wing politics will amplify as 2020’s presidential election nears.“Now they’re taking out people — one by one — they’re taking out some of Trump’s most charismatic voices,” Courrielche explained.
