I bet you would have said the same thing when Microsoft killed browser competition decades ago using its Windows dominance. Fortunately, the govt acted against Microsoft. If Microsoft continued its monopolistic practices, it's very lik

"let people say what they want" I actually think this will be the demise of Twitter. No content moderation makes harassment and abuse rampant and the good users will flee and you're left with a cesspool of hate.

In the eyes of Wall Street, it's all about growth. Facebook continues to be among the Top 3 or Top 5 apps in installed base but if you're not growing at the same pace as before, it's bad.

Apple has scale. Tile has similar functionalities but it doesn't have a large network that Apple's IPhone has. It's going to be very hard to use Tile to stalk people.

The 2.0 version of healthcare.gov is actually pretty good. My bet is that it's probably using the same infrastructure and is built by the US Digital Service ( https://www.usds.gov/ ) and/or 18F ( https://

You conveniently omitted George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Philando Castle. The riots were not glorified. It was the outcome of the unjustified violence against African Americans. "threaten to kill a kid defending local homes and busine

Before these tech monopolies came into power, radio and tv have always been free and have been a way for people especially the poor to get informed and entertained. If we ban advertising altogether, we're gonna be in a worse situation

"If I leave the keys in the ignition of my sports car and it’s stolen, I’m a very foolish person, but certainly no less the victim of a car theft." Except that the investors gave the keys of their cars to Holmes. Holmes didn'

It's the scale! A fire in a trash can is something easy to deal with. If the fire is a whole forest threatening nearby towns then that's a big problem.

There's no competition because Facebook is a monopoly. Also remember that media companies tried collaborating with Facebook. Remember Pivot to video? Only to discover that Facebook inflated their stats on video views. Of course, Facebo

Except in some countries, Facebook is basically the only store in town. It's a monopoly. It's like the monopoly happened on its own. Facebook spent so much money making sure they are the only store in town.

Believe it or not, governments or any organization or individual for that matter, can be pursuing more than one thing at a time. And how is suing companies for fraud an ideological thing? And which ideology is that?

I think part of it is user acquisition and another is preventing another competitor to gain traction.

YouTube is pretty much like this but it's the creators selecting the thumbnails. The most common thumbnail I see is a picture of someone looks like they are blown away with their hands on their head and their mouth wide open.

If a country cheats in the Olympics, who should be punished by the IOC then if they cannot ban the athletes? I think it was worth it for Russia to cheat in the Sochi Olympics. There doesn't seem to be any significant consequence from t
