I said I agree that we could use legislation. I specifically question the voracity of the messaging here. Is not even whataboutism, is literally making up concerns on the few "big tech" companies while everyone is getting fleeced by nonsense in the financial world.
Don't get me wrong, if you want to abolish facebook and/or twitter, I doubt I would really shed a tear. Most of the complaints here, though, are not really leveled at them. Heck, I wouldn't be upset to see the others get split. But we continue to make banks bigger and bigger. We have thrown healthcare to pipe dreams only. We seem to endorse that the only way to have a future is to borrow against it.
Name the biggest data leaks out there. You will find that banks make up as much of that list as "big tech." Notable that two of the main "big tech" companies aren't even on the list. Such that I feel fine standing by that claim.
Though, again, I support more legislation. I don't support pretending there are monocle wearing villains at "big tech" that is our largest problem. That doesn't mean I think we can't also still do something about real concerns there.
