Can we get a list of what counts as “Big Tech?” Lemmy is already my only social media and I don’t use any messengers outside of Signal and Simplex. Are we talking classical Silicon Valley (FAANG)? Chromium browsers? Anything at all on an iPhone or Android? What about game platforms?

This is so vague.
