Tech Giants Should Pay a Price for Keeping Secrets
Lately, there’s been frustration about holes in big technology companies’ financial disclosures. Personally, I always want more disclosure. Give me all the numbers.
But while journalists like me only have the power of the (digital) pen, investors have the power of the purse. They can and should flex their considerable muscle to press for more information. I acknowledge that Big Tech holds the most power in this relationship, but there is a history of investor discontent helping pry financial secrets out of the industry’s superstars.
