It&#x27;s not so surprising.<p>A lot of people have been jealously watching on as &#x27;fat cat&#x27; &#x27;tech bros&#x27; eat into their industries. Now there are signs that the market will correct and that technology companies will not continue to get free passes with which to ignore government. In short, they want to see blood and will settle to see it whichever way they can.<p>Tech on the whole needs to wise up politically. It cannot continue to accept the negative characterisations of its members, nor can it continue to do whatever it wants without any political ramifications. Even if we believe we&#x27;re doing the right thing, we&#x27;ll need to redeem ourselves in the public eye and critically evaluate solutions to social problems we&#x27;ve been implicated in (whether or not we are the sole cause of them.)
