I think there is something fundamentally wrong with Big Tech playing the nationalism card and I think regulation is more important than ever before.

Most Americans also want Big Tech to be regulated.

@jon As a US citizen, I would love to see G00gley eyes and fecesbook and Microshaft all be regulated. I don't care where the companies started from. We have a troll for president right now so we are in it for at least another 3 years.

@jon

"most americans..." really? ipse dixit?

I'm in favour of regulation but there's a difference between the desire for regulation and what the actual regulations would be.
