> But their history shows tech giants are structurally unable to defend American interests and should never be trusted with that task. That sounds suspiciously like the tech giants are private enterprises in name (and profit) only, and are essentially part of the state, tasked with advancing the country's/state's interests on the digital front. It's rarely explicitly laid out by a proponent (who's just disappointed that it allegedly didn't work). It's usually marxists criticizing it as stamocap while everyone else says that it's completely baseless, private enterprises etc etc.
