Silicon Valley Attacks

How Big Tech Is Destroying Our Democracies

Under the guise of “innovation,” tech giants like Google, Meta, and Amazon have circumvented laws and regulations in recent decades, wielding influence that even dictatorships could only dream of. Today, the once-lauded Silicon Valley sets the rules of the game, manipulates markets, and provides authoritarian regimes with the tools of total control by altering algorithms and trading everyone’s personal data.

But what does this mean for us? Can we stand idly by while Big Tech becomes the ultimate weapon against freedom and self-determination, undermining and destroying our democracies?

In “Silicon Valley Attacks,” renowned AI expert Marietje Schaake exposes the corrupt machinations of the tech elite and explains what we and our governments must do now to save our future before it’s too late.

Marietje Schaake offers exclusive insider insights from her meetings with human rights activists, business leaders, and politicians. It reveals how companies like Google, Facebook, and Amazon use our data to enhance their influence, and how artificial intelligence and social media have become tools for manipulation.
