Tech
Tech Influence pertains to the companies providing the various services that we take for granted on the Internet. However, although the popular social media hubs and content platforms spring to mind and are a part of Tech influence, Tech Influence also opens up access to the method that these services are distributed moreso than the services themselves: data centers, internet service providers, cellphone companies, cable companies, computer systems designers, computer facilities management services, and the various contractors that slave away on tech campuses while their whitecollar contemporaries type away at the keyboard. Tech Influence lowers the difficulty of Influence Actions that are orchestrated through big tech, from guiding the hand of a social media platform's Trust And Safety Committee to whispering to the political interests of ISPs and their cash-lined pockets.
