In this episode of Tech Check, we dive into J.D. Vance’s complex relationship with Silicon Valley and big tech regulation. As a former venture capitalist, his views on giants like Google, Meta, Apple, and Amazon are layered, raising questions about their impact on the upcoming election. Vance's bold call to break up Google highlights election integrity amid a significant market sell-off affecting the Nasdaq and S&P 500. We also explore Google's $23 billion bid for cybersecurity startup Wiz, signaling a potential M&A boom if Trump returns to power. Plus, Vance's support for FTC's Alina Khan sets him apart from many Republicans, and we discuss the self-censorship in social media since 2020.
