[FRIAM] Roger Mcnamee !!??

I just listened to this podcast 

 

https://feeds.megaphone.fm/VMP5489734702

 

a conversation between the former prosecutor, Joyce Vance, and the musician,
financier, turncoat Facebook investor Roger Mcnamee, who likens this moment
with big tech to the moment before the food industry regulations of the
early 1900's and anti-pollution legislation of the 60's, moments when Da
People reasserted control over over-weening industry interests.  He is
author of the book, Zucked.

 

An hour-long pod cast is a terribly inefficient way to learn about
something, so I hope that one you, for whom none of this is news, can offer
a more condensed source.

 

We are basically talking about the Amazon paradox, here: can't live with it;
can't live without it.  How much ARE we willing to pay to have the trains
run on time?

 

As usual, I am in need of instruction.
