The reign of Big Tech is here, and Americans’ First Amendment rights hang by a keystroke.

Amassing unimaginable amounts of personal data, giants like Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Apple—once symbols of American ingenuity and freedom—have become a techno-oligarchy with overwhelming economic and political power.

Decades of unchecked data collection have given Big Tech more targeted control over Americans’ daily lives than any company or government in the world. In The Tyranny of Big Tech, Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri argues that these mega-corporations—controlled by the robber barons of the modern era—are the gravest threat to American liberty in decades.

To reverse course, Hawley argues, we must correct progressives’ mistakes of the past. That means recovering the link between liberty and democratic participation, building an economy that makes the working class strong, independent, and beholden to no one, and curbing the influence of corporate and political elites.

Big Tech and its allies do not deal gently with those who cross them, and Senator Hawley proudly bears his own battle scars. But hubris is dangerous. The time is ripe to overcome the tyranny of Big Tech by reshaping the business and legal landscape of the digital world.

The Book google, fBook, Twitter don’t want you to read. Josh Hawley is the senator that confronted Zuck & Jack Dorsey. We need to resist the power grab from big tech. This book discussed a lot what’s going on behind the scenes. I love seeing really men stand up to this tyranny.

The author is a hero . In spite of terrible censorship in the US Josh was able to risk it all and publish this book. his dedication to truth exposed him to danger from the globalist oligarchs that run this country. The tyranny of the oligarchs must be stopped, the monopolies broken up .

The globalist oligarchs are responsible for bringing our country to bankrupcy through endless wars and foolish money printing . The media is in their monopolistic hands , so little is known about the real State of the Union.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, I actually read the book before writing this review!
Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2021
Verified Purchase
This is an important book and I give it my strongest recommendation. It is an eye opener for those who are open minded enough to read it. Well written with facts supported by a large number of footnoted references for those who wish to review those sources. I have lived long life based on observing and searching out information as well as reviewing and comparing opposing opinions. I do no believe the the negative reviews of this book are accurate based on the reading of the Senator's book. I wonder if the authors of the negative opinions have taken the effort to read and consider Senator Hawley's points and data. As a former combat veterans, college instructor, business manager, grandparent and parent I believe we each a have a responsibility to seek out facts and truth. As a senior citizen I worry about the future of our country for my children and grand-children. Our country's future depends on the our ability to absorb and analyze information even when it does not fit into our bias (and we all have them). "None are so unknowing as those who close their mind." My advice in do not let other's think for you,
that is both your privilege and responsibility. Read this book and make up you own mind

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Tells About Some Of The Possible Hazards Caused By Big Tech
Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2021
Verified Purchase
While technology can good and helpful in some circumstances and some situations, it can also be harmful and abusive in other circumstances and other situations. This book points out some of the drawbacks of technology being abused by some people. Some of the interesting things that are mentioned in this book by the author of the book include the following information: By 2011, 46% of people in the U.S. reported that they owned and used smartphones. By 2019, that number had gone up to 81%. Facebook processed more data on more individuals than any other company on planet Earth. A 2014 study of phone users in the UK found owners checking their smartphones 221 times a day coming out to once every 4.3 minutes. By mid-2010, one study reported that older children and teens could manage a mere six minutes of studying before indulging the compulsive need to pick up their smartphones and reconnect with social media. One study from Pew Research Center in 2018 showed that fully 43% of people in the U.S. got their news from Facebook. For those people who want to know more about the harmful effects of technology on society, this is an informative book to read. The author of this book mentions that although he has a presence in social media, there are limits to his presence.

5.0 out of 5 stars Concise & surprisingly outstanding
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2021
Verified Purchase
I find most books by young, ambitious politicians to be insufferable drek. I thought this book, threatened with censorship, might be better. It sure is. Hawley eschews virtually all of the autobiography in favor of a sweeping, at times breathtaking synthesis of business history and political thought. He focuses on the range from railroads and Robber Barons to Big Tech, and the political tipping point of the 1912 presidential election between Woodrow Wilson and Teddy Roosevelt, and how it affected regulation and corporate law. Hawley essentially argues that instead of making government bigger to regulate corporations, we should make corporations smaller. And he sees the new wave of populist Republicans as a return to the GOP's free labor roots under Abraham Lincoln and TR. I read the book slowly so that I could spend a day or three processing each chapter. I cannot recommend it strongly enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Timely and well-written
Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2022

Josh Hawley has presented us with an excellent book. He carefully places the story in its place in U.S. history, aligning Big Tech with the robber barons, Teddy Roosevelt as an opposition leader, and Woodrow Wilson guilty as charged. From first to last, he advocates for the common man, for a republic of working-class people who have long been buried by "the aristocrats."

If he can convince his fellow senators after the mid-term elections to tackle this issue, we could find ourselves living in the freedom and liberty that our founders designed for us. Carry on, Josh.

The book is about what you expect from the title. Josh provides some good insight on the steps government and big tech are taking to protect and indoctrinate our youth. Unfortunately, kids and many parents do not understand how we are all under manipulation by these out-of-control tech companies. As a parent, I highly recommend this read, and follow that up with taking steps to educate your children to not fall into the manipulation trap. Think for yourselves and questions EVERYTHING!

5.0 out of 5 stars The brutal truth about Big Tech
Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2021

Josh did a great job of covering the power and corruption of Big Tech. This includes how they are monopolies, that they don't care about your privacy, and that they censor people they disagree with.

He does have a chapter on what each of us can do, but I will add some suggestions. Google and Facebook makes almost all of their revenue from advertising. Do everything possible to keep them from using your data for advertising and use products that don't censor. If you use apple make sure you turn off Settings/Tracking/"Allow Apps to Request to Track" This will keep any apps from using your data for advertising. If you don't want to get censored while doing searches. Replace the google search engine with another product such as "Duck Duck Go". The default search engine can be set in the browser you are using. Use Apple maps instead of Google maps if you want to keep Google from tracking where you go. If you want to get Google out of your life, don't have a Google login, don't use the Chrome browser, and don't use gmail. If you use Facebook, don't get your news from their site, and don't click on any sponsored links while using Google or Facebook.

3.0 out of 5 stars “The truth is out there” and The Tyranny of Big Tech will help you find it.
Reviewed in Canada on June 23, 2021
Verified Purchase
I gave this only three stars because politician Senator Josh Hawley has bought into identity politics: workers vs elites. This is an ideological fault that detracts from the value of this book in fighting the very real existential threat of the tyranny of big tech. But the description and prescription that he gives makes the book a valuable counterattack in the war for our civilization. This book belongs on the shelf with Slanted, Breaking the News, Hollywood Propaganda, #Deleted and so many more. It can be a window on truth for readers drowning in the Fake News flood.
