We are seeing more and more news and speeches like that recently. While I agree with a lot of them, in terms that these big players are really bad for society, I keep thinking, what is making all of this to be published now? Who is actually behind that? If FB / Google fall, if the web with ads as we have today fall, who will get a ton of money?
Some of it might be a trend as we are seeing a lot of books, paid articles about focus, ditching social networks, etc, but I dunno if that is the trend or just a bi-product of the articles in the big media.

So arguments that only existed in say academia or quarterly political journals are now allowed to flow into more “regular” news sources. Also, it doesn’t help that now Google / Facebook are hated by both the left and the right. Usually you can survive for a while by playing both one side off of another. Very quickly though they got surrounded surrounded on all sides, like the Germans at Stalingrad, and there is no way out, and the vise grows tighter everyday.
