Friday Public Affairs Discussion Lunch—“What’s the Problem With Big Tech?”

The Friday Public Affairs Discussion Lunch has been a Case Western Reserve University tradition since 1989. It is sponsored by the Center for Policy Studies within the College of Arts and Sciences. The Friday Lunch gathers every Friday from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. when classes are in session during fall and spring semesters.

This week’s event explores one of the effects of the pandemic: how we’ve become even more dependent on “Big Tech”—on Google and Facebook and Apple and Amazon—for both our business and social lives. But their reach into our lives has been expanding for many years. Anat Alon-Beck, an assistant professor of law, will be the speaker. It will be held March 19 at 12:30 p.m.
