> Tech does not deserve special legal treatment

Tech is no different from other complex concerns. It deserves legal treatment that is specific and appropriate to it's nature.

This is not the position the law takes on this issue. Relevant search terms to learn why include “law of the horse.”

Seems strange to even call these companies "tech". They are crypto, social media, search, etc. They may create and employ bespoke technologies, but we don't call British Airways an airplane company and we don't call Citibank a money company.

What do we call Google, Meta, or Microsoft?
