The year is 1957. Hinton Johnson was beaten by two New York City police officers. Malcolm X and a small group went to the police station and demanded to see Johnson. Police initially denied that he was being held, but when the crowd grew to about five hundred, they allowed Malcolm X to speak with Johnson. One police officer told the New York Amsterdam News: "No one man should have that much power." The year is 2021. For much less noble reasons, the world must conclude about centralized social networks and software companies: "No one company should have that much power."
