The Trust-buster

The issue with this is that Hawley is coming at this form a censorship angle.
Anti-trust is just his tool to address the censorship issue.
There are better, more fundamental and important discussions that need to take place on the new businesses made possible by network technology.
In other words, Hawley's grievance is just a symptom of the problem.

Personally, I don't care one way or the other. Big Tech needs trust-busting, as much as Standard Oil ever did.
It's time.
Now, the question is not IF, but HOW. And the next question is what rules do we put in place to ensure competition?

Big tech trust busting is needed.
Hawley is attempting it myopicly for the wrong reasons and will most likely make matter worse.
I would much rather have the likes of Warren and Yang lead something like this; heck, even AOC will do better than Hawley on something like this.
While you are at it, big bank trust busting is needed too; probably even more urgently than big tech trust busting, for the simple reason that it's still easier for a new tech entrant to get very big than it is for a new banking entrant to get very big.

Compared to Chinese banks?
