This editorial about the “Big 4” entitled, No Mercy / No Malice: The Worm Has Turned, written by Scott Galloway, is an excellent read that brings home a lot of thoughts we see floating around the web to one page. Mr. Galloway is a no-holds barred kinda of guy, so you might get your panties in a bunch if you happen to have yours on.



Curing, rocketing, leaning in – no more. The worm has turned against big tech, and it’s overdue. The tipping point was the recent revelation that Mark Zuckerberg had unwittingly become Vladimir Putin’s bitch. However, each firm has its own links to the dark side and is about to face the same scrutiny and standards the rest of business endures.

Below is a rundown of where the Four are most vulnerable, some thoughts on how they should address the issues (note: they haven’t asked me), and some predictions. Also note: they’re not bad people. Statistically, I’m pretty sure each firm has about the same ratio of good to bad people. We live in a system, capitalism, where people in the workforce naturally put their oxygen masks on first before helping others. Sounds awful, but as Churchill said about democracy, “It’s the worst form of government, except all the others.”
