Far too many politicians on both sides of the aisle are being paid off by Big Tech and they will sell us out in order to enrich themselves, consequences be damned.

David French, and his fellow corporate conservatives at the NRO, are not to be taken seriously.

the Section 230 exemption for neutral platforms online.

Fake news - Section 230 says nothing about neutrality.

having built on a foundation they did not build

Josh Hawley is definitely on the right path. Our two best presidents near the turn of the last century were Grover Cleveland and Theodore Roosevelt. They pushed congressional allies for the creation of the Clayton and Sherman anti-trust acts precisely because of harmful monopolistic behavior.

It is time to dust off those acts, rinse and repeat. All of us should do our part by using duckduckgo.com instead of Google. I am actually impressed that it doesn't fill your search results up with anywhere near the amount of horse$#*+ to wade through.

We have to friendly with corporate America for to long. The more we lower their taxes the less they need us and the more liberal they become. If the only way to turn them into conservatives is to raise their taxes then so be it.

Teddy Roosevelt set about to create an approach that focused on anti-trust. I think it helps for gov’t to have some ability to say when something is too big.
Unfortunately, the too big banks have gotten in control of too much power (the Federal Reserve). I need to read more about the environment that resulted in Congress giving away so much power back in the early 20th century.
So it will not be surprising if some quasi-gov’t entity is proposed in which the big tech companies can hide that they are pulling strings.
