    They don’t need to be regulated they just need competition

    I think something Activity pub could do the trick (not peertube)

        That would be actually terrible. The government shouldn’t be able to shutdown a billion dollar company. That’s how authoritarian governments work not democracies

          You are absolutely right. They need to be split up in six different pieces instead, thereby forcing them to compete. That’s what functioning democracies do to companies that are so dominant they are de facto monopolies and thereby making any real competition virtually impossible. The US isn’t a functioning democracy anymore so don’t you worry little one, It’s not gonna happen to any of the mega-conglomerates you have such a special bond with.
