What is "BigTech"? Is this a term of art or do you refer to "big tech" as in the big players in an industry?

I see social media companies called "tech" in the media, but I don't care for that. I see phones comprising the entirety of "tech" and "high tech" coverage in some outlets, but that's not interesting at all.




I fully agree, but my impression is that most people have some notion of that term. There is even a Wikipedia page about Big Tech, but of course nobody claims to have a strict definition.

My hope has been that different perspectives on that term also manifest when specifying concerns.
