Slowing economy could increase pressure on Big Tech
Sara Fischer, David McCabe, Courtenay Brown5 hours ago
A potential recession, combined with increasing regulatory threats for some of the biggest tech companies, foreshadows a difficult 2019 for Silicon Valley.

They've also been dogged by scandals that have left many questioning their positive role in society, and if on top of that the economy starts to slip, 2019 could be worse.
