Top evil tech companies
 

Slate's top ten

Slate magazine asked a range of journalists, scholars, advocates, and others who have been thinking critically about technology for years, and named its top ten of evil.

The list is pretty much what you would expect

Amazon
Facebook
Alphabet
Palantir Technologies
Uber
Apple
Microsoft
Twitter
ByteDance
Exxon Mobil

Slate said that respondents were deeply concerned about foreign companies dabbling in surveillance and AI and while there were some disagreements, Palantir still rose to #4 on the list because "almost everyone distrusts Peter Thiel".

While Apple and Microsoft were in the top ten, the competition above them was too high for Apple to make much impact. After all, Apple at its worst could never beat Facebook or Amazon in a being evil competition. The surprise is perhaps Microsoft's high ranking. Since the shy and retiring Steve Ballmer returned Microsoft has been increasing in popularity and been "good" -- it has even turned its hand to open sourcing.
