Control in the name of distraction — Aisha Fahmy Mohd Zulhery Fahmy
JUNE 22 — People call them big companies or even giants: Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Meta, Netflix. These names dominate our digital world. They've become so woven into our daily lives that we often forget just how much we rely on them. At the touch of our fingertips, we send messages, stream videos, search for answers, shop, and socialise. The line 'there's an app for that' came from their inventions. In many ways, these companies built the modern digital landscape. Thanks to them, we're more connected than ever before. We can communicate across borders, access information instantly, and enjoy the kind of convenience our ancestors couldn't have imagined. But with great innovation comes great responsibility and even greater power. The question is: Where do we draw the line? Yes, we should be thankful for the tools they've created. But we should also be cautious. There's a saying: 'Don't bite the hand that feeds you,' but perhaps in this case, the real warning should be: 'Don't keep eating if the hand starts feeding you poison.' These platforms don't just connect us — they also control the flow of information we see. The news we read, the videos we watch, the ads we encounter, even the people we interact with — much of it is determined by algorithms designed by a few powerful corporations. This control over information isn't just a matter of business. It affects public opinion, political debates, and even personal beliefs. When a handful of companies can amplify some voices while silencing others, promote certain narratives while burying others, it becomes clear that they don't just participate in the media industry — they dominate it. And the content never stops. We scroll endlessly through social media, binge-watch entire series in a weekend, and click through a dozen tabs without finishing a single one. At some point, this starts to feel less like freedom and more like hypnosis. We're feeding on content voluntarily but without limits. We're consuming and consuming, but what are we really getting in return? Control of information affects public opinion, political debates, and even personal beliefs. — Picture from Unsplash/Maxim Ilyahov I believe this endless stream of media has become a distraction — a way to pull us away from the real world, from reality itself. Instead of looking out at the world and engaging with people face to face, we're staring into screens, losing ourselves in curated images and carefully calculated feeds. And while it feels like we're in control, choosing what to watch or who to follow, the truth is, much of our experience is shaped by behind-the-scenes algorithms we don't fully understand. Of course, not everything is harmful. There are many benefits to the digital world: education, community-building, activism, entertainment, even healing. But we can't ignore the other sides too. The addictive design of social media, the spread of misinformation, the invasion of privacy, the mental health challenges — it's all part of the same package. So yes, the tech giants are part of the media industry — but they're more than that. They are the media industry now. They've become the new gatekeepers of information. And while they promise freedom, access, and innovation, they also hold immense power over what we see, what we know, and how we feel. The real challenge isn't just recognising this power — it's deciding what to do with it. Should we regulate them? Should we limit our use? Should we demand more transparency? These are the questions we need to start asking, not just as consumers, but as citizens of a digital world. * Aisha Fahmy Mohd Zulhery Fahmy is an undergraduate student of Universiti Malaya, taking an elective university course entitled 'Introduction to Journalism and Storytelling in Digital Age'. ** This is the personal opinion of the writer or publication and does not necessarily represent the views of Malay Mail.

Tesla to build China's largest grid battery plant in RM2.3b Shanghai deal
NEW YORK, June 22 — Tesla announced Friday that it signed an agreement to build its first grid-scale energy storage power station project in mainland China. The project will help with the flexible adjustment of grid resources, and 'effectively solve pressures relating to urban power supply,' Tesla said in a post to the Chinese social media platform Weibo. 'After completion, this project is expected to become the largest grid-side energy storage project in China,' Tesla added. Such energy storage systems help to enhance stability in the electricity grid at a time when there are greater supplies of solar and wind power. Chinese media outlet Yicai reported that Tesla Shanghai, Shanghai authorities and China Kangfu International Leasing Co. held a signing ceremony Friday for the project. It added that the deal involved investments of 4 billion yuan (RM2.3 billion). The contract comes at a moment of tension between Washington and Beijing, with the two sides yet to hash out a long-term trade agreement following tariffs announced by President Donald Trump. China and the United States negotiated a 'framework' agreement in London earlier this month following two days of marathon talks. — AFP
