The article criticizes governmental inaction regarding the growing influence of large technology companies, specifically those based in Silicon Valley. It contrasts this lack of regulation with extensive state intervention in other areas of life, such as detailed regulations of working hours. The author argues that governments are failing to protect citizens from the power and potential abuses of these tech giants, derisively referred to as "chocolate uncles." This perceived failure is framed as a display of political cowardice. The piece suggests a disconnect between the state’s willingness to micromanage certain aspects of daily life and its reluctance to confront powerful corporate interests. It implies a need for stronger governmental oversight of the technology sector to ensure fair competition and protect public interests. The author expresses frustration with this imbalance of regulatory power.
