The current lack of data transparency prevents regulators and the public from holding tech companies accountable for the societal harms caused by their products.

“as long as they refuse to release even basic data like we should consider all of these moves marketing otherwise we're just taking them at their word”

Hasan Piker argues that government accountability efforts should be applied consistently across all major corporations rather than targeting specific platforms like TikTok.

“I'm telling you this is like what they should be doing to every company they do not demand any kind of real restitution or they can get like any kind of real restitution from any of these other companies”

Zack Polanski expresses opposition to the relationship between the UK government and Palantir, citing concerns about its impact on the NHS and military infrastructure.

“Oh I mean I'm very anti Palunteer and particularly I think if we look at the genocide in Gaza as well and the relationship between security and technology companies and the militarization of the police.”

Carole Cadwalladr argues that technology companies have facilitated unlawful political activities and that society has failed to hold these corporations to account.

“So those tech platforms which I believe facilitated this you know sort of convulsion in our politics and in our democracies that was at its heart unlawful. we just simply failed to hold those companies to account afterwards.”
