Ep 13: Your Are Being Played by Big Tech
Episode notes
You Are Being Played by Big Tech
In this episode of Builders of the Broken Bazaar, Dr Tabish Zaman speaks with Mona Fowzy — CEO of JaneTech and a software engineer with over 25 years across EA, AOL, Yahoo, CBS, and global scientific labs — about why we don’t need more technology at all.
We need less hype, less manipulation, and far more courage to question the systems shaping our lives.
Together, they explore:
• Why most new technology fixes nothing but extracts everything
• How AI, crypto, and surveillance tools manufacture fear, urgency, and dependency
• How everyday people are turned into test subjects for corporate agendas
• Why engineers have become foot soldiers for political and military power
• How Big Tech’s greed has erased usability, access, and trust
• Why the most “advanced” products are often the most exploitative
• Why real progress won’t come from Silicon Valley, but from ignored communities
• And how Palestine reveals exactly who technology was designed to privilege — and who it was built to erase
🎙 “The real risk isn’t being left behind — it’s being led blindly.”
