The article doesn't say that Google et al are too big to fail. It says they have entirely too much power over internet user's experience and are misusing it in many ways.

Really? So you and some other people will somehow contact the millions of new users that come online each year and persuade them to stay from Facebook?
- originalsimba 9y ago"Really? So you and some other people" Are you unwilling to participate? "will somehow contact the millions of new users that come online each year and persuade them to" That's literally how the internet exploded, why can't the same process work for improving people's ability to use it to serve their best interests. The process is helped along by certain public organizations like the EFF or celebrities like R. Stallman encouraging people to move away from corporate controls. The greatest feature of the internet is decentralization. Facebook and Google aren't going to change that, even tho every corporation would like to. As long as we don't fall asleep at the wheel as users.
