From John Fewster, London UK
As some corporations continue to exploit and pollute the physical environment, so big tech media corporations are re-engineering the psychological environment. It is evident that they control and manipulate information for gain. Of course, it was ever thus, but current internet media power and reach now means that influence, for good or bad, can be bought, sold and spread in milliseconds. Damage may be less visible than when it is physical, but it is far-reaching, tending to produce and preserve destructive moral, political and economic models(7 June, p 36).
