    Ad/tech companies are toys of the government. Sometimes these toys throw a fit because the people involved want more money. But they were made by the government, and have a front story about how a genius with a good idea and business skills turned it into a billion dollar company. They wouldnt exist without the iniciative and investment of the government.

      If they were “toys” of the government, they wouldn’t so easily be able to bend the government to their will. They were hardly “made by the government”.

        The government is a complex system with internal conflicts.
