Claims that tech giants are making a lot of money from the war

Following the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, September 11, 2021, three American political groups jointly emerged as big tech. We released a report summarizing the relationship between the war and the war. The report reports that the number of contracts signed by large companies such as Amazon, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and Twitter with government agencies has increased sharply since the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Little Sis, Action Center for Race and the Economy, MPower Change, an American political organization, has been working with a large American IT company as a government agency since the outbreak of the war on terrorism in 2001 on September 9, 2021. We have released a report summarizing the scale of the contracts we have signed.

Below is a graph summarizing the total number of contracts and subcontracting contracts signed by Amazon, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and Twitter with the federal government by government agency, with the blue graph being the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), orange. The graph shows the Department of Defense (DoD), the gray graph shows the Department of Justice (DoJ), and the yellow shows the contract with the state government. For example, in the case of DHS, the number of contracts signed with Big Tech such as Amazon has increased 50 times from 2007 to 2019.

Among the big techs, Amazon and Microsoft are the ones that are making the most money. From 2015 to 2019, Amazon's contracts with the government were about five times higher, and Microsoft's contracts were about eight times higher.

Meanwhile, the number of government contracts with existing munitions manufacturers such as Raytheon and Northrop Grumman has declined in recent years.

According to a survey, government agencies have paid at least $ 44.7 billion (about 5 trillion yen) to Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and Twitter since 2004.

In response, MPower Change campaign director Sijal Nasralla said, 'In our research, high-tech companies make security and the war on terror a US priority because of the great benefits of contracting with the US government. We know that we have done so. So the biggest problem is that big tech is the driving force behind the 'Global War on Terror', and that trend is growing. The War on Terror and Global To break the link of violence, we must pursue that responsibility. '

Motherboard, an IT news site, asked Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and Twitter for comments on the results of this survey, but it seems that no response was obtained at the time of writing the article.
