A term to define the tyrannical archetype of institutional systemic oppression of 'wrongthinkers' by Californian multi-billionaires in ivory towers. The Tech Tyrants are the socio-political group that abuse technology to silence critics and to steer the narrative, thoughts, opinions, and voting of the masses at all costs by any means necessary.
The term tech tyrants has slowly grown in relevance as the ultimate summary of the condition in which we exist where a minority of a minority control not just the viewpoints of the majority, but what we are allowed to know, think about, talk about, or even learn.
From typing something in a search engine and thinking "Oh wait, I'd never be allowed to find that." to being deleted from Twitter every time an election draws near like millions of users are every election globally the tech tyrants are a creeping manifestation of elitist Marxist utopians.
It appears it was first used by a free speech lobbyist in Australia, Dr. Lex Winter, in a white paper on dystopian technocracy in 1998. It has subsequently come to more prominence as it has trended on alt tech websites during a mass exodus from Tech Tyrant social media.

A Tier 1 University, whose students comprise of Nerds or Rednecks. The University itself is in need of a remodeling after standing for over 100 years, but that's to be expected. It is relatively small for its high ranking in education, and surprisingly cheap. In 2016 the school was unfortunately desecrated by individuals of racist beliefs, a sad act correlating to the demographic beliefs of the surrounding populous. The students there are either really smart and hard working who will leave with a Science, Engineering, or Education degree, or those who will get a degree relating to sports and alcohol, that is easy to achieve. Overall, Louisiana Tech is a great school, but be weary of the beliefs of the locals in correlation to your background.
Individual 1: "I'm going to Louisiana Tech, it's cheaper to go there then all of our in-state colleges, and offers a higher education"
Individual 2: "You mean a community college for rednecks, you idiot."
(Years later)
Individual 2: "long time, no see. How have you been ever since you went to that red neck community college?"
Individual 1:" Well I have an engineering degree, make 6 figures a year, nearly paid off my loans, and for the record 'Tech' is short for Polytechnic, not Technical, so no its not a community college, and a good bit of the students are red neck, but the education is anything but ."
Individual 2:" What? I got an Engineering degree too, but I don't make that much and I still have tons of loans."
Individual 1:"Well you should have gone to one of the best engineering universities in the country, like me."
Individual 2: "You mean a community college for rednecks, you idiot."

State of someone who, on a temporary or permanent basis, has lost access to a modern means of communication.
I lost my mobile phone and my laptop, I'm tech disabled.
I'm planning a trip to the Gobi Desert, but I will be tech disabled there.
