In his farewell address as Vice President, Joe Biden warned about the growing influence of the ’tech-industrial complex’ and the corrosive effects of ‘dark money’ in politics. He expressed concern over the concentration of power in the hands of a few tech giants, stating, ‘The incredible ingenuity, the incredible, incredible capability we have to let people know anything they want, anytime they want now and the potential for havoc as well as for good.’ Biden also criticized the role of undisclosed money in political campaigns, saying, ‘We’ve seen the emergence of a new kind of corporate elite who peddle dark money to influence public policy decisions.’ He urged Americans to remain vigilant against these forces and to protect democratic institutions.
