Should We Regulate Big Tech?
I'm not a government regulation proponent because when government assumes any degree of control things generally turn to crap and we lose our freedom. Even so, this article makes for a good, and well thought out, argument for a degree of regulation. More, the insights given into Google, Facebook and the like gives one reason to pause to consider their hobbling.

Most of these co.s were CIA creations using (our money)
Enriching those that spread a statist agenda by censoring anti statist messages .They call it “hate speech”.
While Virtual Personal Network promoters sell the idea that you can protect your information from invasive searches, they all have signed agreements with law enforcement that requires them to provide a path to enable searches subject to a warrant. The DN is technically criminal, in the eyes of government snoopers, because it isn't the property of any tech company, and the dynamic nature of information passing makes searches next to impossible. Big tech providers don't like the DN either, as they can't control it or track the users.
The DN provides a protected way for "pamphleteering" of information that would get you thrown off of a regular internet site. Monetizing is the hard part for DN use, as advertisers can't track your data, which is what they use in deciding whether or not to support you. That's sort of why any monetizing of DN actors often comes from criminal sources, as they only care about results, not hit counts. Nonetheless, it's beginning to look like DN may be the way to develop and promote big tech alternatives, dodging control and providing a libertarian free market alternative.
Sounds like the new post modernist way their activists “solve” their many targeted “systematic problems.”
Calling all moral and ethical value creators, maybe we could use the blockchain idea and recreate social media that can't get screwed up and corrupted.

They have become a country on their own, thanks to millions of gullible people who must spill the most intimate details of their lives on the net.
As long as they do that, no amount of regulation would be effective.
What do we want them to be?
