“The most disgusting pro-monopoly thesis yet … Government should support Big Tech monopoly maintenance, because Apple and Google can more strongly reinforce US control over information …”

It used to be about protection: “We will protect you” as the trojan horse for monopoly. “Who controls my data?” is the latest.
It is not a binary decision. It’s a false dichotomy. As Ryan Broderick recently wrote:
White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan asked reporters yesterday: “Do we want the data from TikTok — children’s data, adults’ data — to be going — to be staying here in America or going to China?”
What about, uh, no one? What if nobody had… our children’s data?
