The Secrets of Silicon Valley: What Big Tech Doesn’t Want You to Know
July 5, 2019
43m
Overview
From a sleepy farming region, a global surveillance empire was born, its roots buried in secret Pentagon programs and intelligence agency funding. The documentary traces this hidden history, revealing how World War II, eugenics, and military contracts shaped the tech giants that now track our every move. It uncovers the uncomfortable truth that the internet itself was designed as a weapon of control, not liberation, and that the line between Silicon Valley and the spy agencies has always been blurred.
