tech giants
Big digital companies
Tech giants are the largest and most influential technology companies, typically referring to a handful of corporations that dominate digital markets and shape how people communicate, shop, and access information.
The term usually includes companies like Google, Apple, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft.
Regulators are increasingly scrutinizing the tech giants for anticompetitive practices.
The phrase carries a hint of wariness—these companies wield enormous economic and cultural power.
