Yes centralising power was such a good idea. Well done big tech. Another footgun.

It sits between millions of users and the websites they desire to visit, and if they're on the right network using the right browser, they won't even know it.

It's #24 on this list https://companiesmarketcap.com/software/largest-software-com... so I'd say it's big tech.
