The other is a form of protest against President Donald Trump&#039;s immigration policies, calling on people to &quot;Resist and Unsubscribe&quot; from Big Tech&#039;s products and services.<\/p>\n<p>Just don&#039;t call him an activist. By his own description, Galloway is &quot;too lazy, selfish, and socially minded&quot; to be one, he told BI&#039;s Henry Chandonnet.<\/p>\n<p>The irony is that Galloway is taking aim at an industry that helped make him a multimillionaire. He previously wrote a book about Big Tech and founded and sold a business intelligence firm for hundreds of millions of dollars. He&#039;s also frequently referenced the massive returns he earned from investing in Apple, Amazon, and Netflix in the wake of the financial crisis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Galloway&#039;s message won&#039;t land with everyone.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It&#039;s easy to call on people to make sacrifices when you&#039;re at the front of the pack. And when you can afford to spend $34,000 a year on Uber, as Galloway says he does, then boycotting it feels more like an inconvenience than anything else.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Galloway&#039;s privilege and position within the tech community make his pushback against Big Tech all the more impressive. After all, it would be a lot easier for him to remain silent.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe that&#039;s the beauty of Galloway. His comments can be equally enlightening and eye-roll-inducing, interesting and infuriating.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of how you feel about what Galloway says, you can&#039;t deny his willingness to say it.<\/p>\n<p>Read the original article on Business Insider<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scott Galloway.
