Silicon Valley and the tech industry's manipulation

I chose "Why Silicon Valley can't fix itself" as my second Long Read article, because I was curious as to what Silicon Valley was and why it needed to be fixed.  However, after perusing the article, I now have a deep understanding and strong opinions on the subject.

First of all, I discovered that Silicon Valley and the tech industry is simply manipulating us into handing them our time, money, and personal information.  They feed us lies and whatever information--true or false--we want to hear. 

In the article, the authors explain that Silicon Valley is suddenly eager to apologize for the damage that technology has done to society and willing to "redesign technology" to make it "healthier."  However, it is clear that their intentions are not to meet society's demands, but to take yet another opportunity to make profits.

This article opened my eyes to the extreme manipulation of the tech industry and that we seemingly do nothing about it.
