Hear me out…maybe these services have grown so much they should be regulated as a utility just like the airwaves used to be. Not saying that will fix the problem, but will at least make them accountable beyond their opaque corporate structures and whims.


I don’t disagree with anything you’re saying. I’m certainly not competent enough to speak on anything close to the technical nuances. But something like radio stations, water and gas utitilites, or public transportation systems - while many in the us are for profit, once they get too large, they should be managed as a utility.
Like, “congrats. You’re idea was super great, you won capitalism” now as a community we have to regulate it because it has become so intertwined in the fabric of our lives.
Regulation is important. Good Regulation is essential to a functioning society…otherwise, people start talking about guillotines or Tea Parties.
