Capitol Hill siege 'may be the beginning of the end of Big Tech': Scott Galloway
- digitalsushi 6y agoI'd like to believe it is plausible that no one on earth knows the effects of big tech and will not for another 20 years. I dont have an opinion on pumping the brakes of an entire industry, and if I was trained to have one, I still might not want to share it. But I am always very eager to hear what people inside the industry have to share.
- RicoElectrico 6y agoNot sure about now, but Scott held quite a few shares of Twitter [1] Quite ironic if he still does. But I still agree: splitting up what should not have been acquired is a good start. And a good way to piss off Zuck et al., way better than fines that will be a "cost of doing business". For starters, I think Instagram can survive alone, keep in mind these guys had a surprisingly small team just before the acquisition.

- gnusty_gnurc 6y agoPeople have been speaking so authoritatively about the need to "regulate" Big Tech. And the obvious point to make is what became of all the self-confident proclamations about MySpace, AOL, etc. These enterprises fall as quickly as they rise. And funny enough, it seems like just as section 230 is on everyone's lips as so vital and exigent, something happens that may very well signal the end of the giants most suppose would endure forever - a max exodus spurred by market demands and the actions of the very platforms thought to be static and undefeatable.
