      Kaissar: Every industry gets regulated when it gets big. The question is what kind of regulation Big Tech will get,and whether the companies will be proactive in shaping it.

      Kaissar: More profitable companies have higher returns. Why? Maybe it's a risk factor, because more profit = higher risk of getting regulated.

          Kaissar: FB's stock value is an exponential function of how much data Facebook users give it. In other words, people aren't getting paid full value for their data.

          Kaissar: Social networks' network effects mean individuals are too small to bargain for their own data individually. People need an intermediary to bargain for them. Feldman: Inevitably, it will be the government.

          Ritholtz: Amazon and Netflix are more trustworthy, and this has been reflected in their stock values. FB stock has struggled because people don't really trust it.

          Feldman: Has any American monopoly been broken up regulated when people loved that monopoly? No. They only get regulated or broken up when the public is lukewarm or negative on a company.

          Questions from the audience: Singapore and other countries can suck away talent from America by being more proactive in their regulation. Will the U.S. lose global tech leadership due to slow, reactive regulation?

          The idea is that "regulatory sandboxes" - zones of light regulation - can let an industry develop, giving regulators a much better idea of how to regulate that market.
