The US was stricter on its homegrown giants of the past, so I don't really buy into the idea that the US has to let big tech impose all of its dystopian ideals upon people to retain a lead over China. The current approach may be benefiting the US economically, but it's also ticking up a time bomb in the form of an increasingly pissed off public.
