Ep 12: Silicon Valley is Lying to You

In this episode of Builders of the Broken Bazaar, Dr Tabish Zaman speaks with Paul Biggar — founder of CircleCI and DarkLang, and co-founder of Tech for Palestine — a leading voice challenging the myth of “neutral” technology.

From inside Silicon Valley’s inner circle to the frontlines of digital justice, Paul unpacks the uncomfortable truths about the industry that claims to build the future.

Together, they explore:

• Why “tech is neutral” was always a lie

• How Silicon Valley’s gatekeepers shape inequality and global politics

• Why founders are rewarded for silence — and punished for moral clarity

• What Israel’s genocide revealed about the tech industry’s complicity

• How Tech for Palestine is helping engineers reclaim their voice

🎙 “Technology isn’t broken — it’s behaving exactly as it was designed. The question is who gets to redesign it.”
