On Thursday, researchers from advocacy and research groups Little Sis, Action Center for Race and the Economy (ACRE), and MPower Change published a report detailing how Big Tech has profited immensely from the War on Terror over 20 years.

The report lays out how tech companies have increasingly pursued federal contracts and subcontracts with America's military, intelligence, and law enforcement agencies after 9/11. Indeed, from 2004 to today, contracts between the federal government and major technology companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Facebook, and Twitter have exploded in number, the report found.
