re: Tech Hearings

 

Be reminded that powerful businesses have a long and storied history of actually seeking and benefiting from government regulation in their industries. Do not think that antitrust action against these companies will invite competition; it won't. What it will do is solidify their monopoly, prevent future competition and open enormous doors for regulatory capture and rent-seeking. THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT.

 

And it's why the Dems are taking the angle they are…this is a feigned conflict between them and the tech oligarchs. Republicans want to revisit the government-granted privilege of limited liability based on their "platform" status to ensure they are not abusing it, and to maintain freedom of speech on these platforms.

 

Understand the difference.
