🚨 If Big Tech Kills IP Laws, Everyone Loses


GD Tech Nerds!

This week, we’re calling out Big Tech’s IP antics, defending old iPhones, and reminding you that yes — DuckDuckGo still slaps in 2025.

Quick shout to our signal boosters: YOU.

Every open, click, and share keeps this machine running smoother than a fresh M2 chip. If you dig what's in this drop, hit the social icons at the end!

Let’s get into it.


⚖️ BIG TECH’S IP GRAB COULD SCREW US ALL

If Big Tech Kills IP Laws, Everyone Loses →

When AI companies act like copyright is optional, it’s not “disruption” — it’s digital looting. This piece rips the lid off what’s happening behind the scenes and why artists, journalists, and creators are about to get steamrolled if we don’t push back.

📉 Long-term? We all lose.

🔥 Still fast
📸 Still crisp
💰 Still cheaper than therapy
