Show Notes

Reason's Robby Soave and Elizabeth Nolan Brown square off with Breaking Points' Emily Jashinsky and Ryan Grim in a no-holds-barred debate over Big Tech. The Reason team argues that technology has dramatically improved everyday life—and that those benefits can't be ignored. Their opponents counter that Big Tech's power is inseparable from big government, and that the two can't be untangled.

 

Resolution: Big Tech does more good than harm.

Affirmative: Robby Soave and Elizabeth Nolan Brown

Negative: Emily Jashinsky and Ryan Grim
