What do people expect? The centralization of power in DC made it susceptible to lobbying, with well documented deleterious effects. The centralization of information reins in the hands of a handful mega-corporations makes them targets of the same kind of corruption, if not worse since there are no FOIA requests. US needs at least 50 Googles/Facebooks if not multiple that number to even begin address the problem. Which will never happen short of some miraculous reincarnation of Teddy Roosevelt because network effects and economies of scale are impossible to fight against.
