> I'd much rather make sure they don't become monopolistic. The situation you describe with TV must not happen with social media too. I'd love to see more variety in social media. Unfortunately network effects favor big single player. Also, every time a new entrant threatens, they get sucked up by an existing player. Sadly, since we've allowed Facebook to swallow everything which isn't bolted down, the only real competition seems to be Chinese owned[0]. (And I sympathize with foreign governments struggling with Facebook & Instagram being US owned). [0] I have no qualms about Chinese people or even Chinese companies in general. But the way the Chinese government operates, I am skeptical of platforms based on speech.
