Right now, Tech is the bad guy across the world.

Especially the moment you move outside of America. Tech has always been comparatively more attuned to US mores and voter sentiment.

Everywhere else, I only see frustration and people trying to find someone who knows someone at a tech firm to get help.

The backlash against Tech firms is a force of nature at this point. Voters are currently unwilling to listen to appeals to reduce government overreach. Governments are trending towards authoritarianism globally, and are more than happy to give voters what they want, while also getting more leverage over tech.
