@robertwrighter suggests breaking up large tech companies because "more is better" and they're less able to enforce fiat like eg twitter did which strikes me as funny and incorrect because we just saw Every tech company across the market move in tandem -
Well, it seems to me that such coordinated action is less effective on the Mastodon model: if your friends are all on servers run by friends, being separated from the other instances matters less. And, if your hosting provider comes after you, redeploy to another one.

Not insane, selfishly rational from Merkel's perspective. She has government power, not big-tech power. Obviously she prefers her class ascendant over tech. It's not like it's more likely for her enemies to control the government than tech.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I see the concern but this seems like an “arguing about names” thing: *Some* coordinated force just made all these things in the US turn like a swarm from a shark you can’t see.

Either it *was* the government, but unofficially/on backchannels, which would mean you don’t get the public deliberation period in which a lot of these things were abandoned for a while in Europe if there’s too much protest[1]…

I mean she's essentially arguing for an FCC of sorts, no? America has rules for radio, tv, magazine publishing. Couldn't even swear on tv till recently! Dunno if I agree but not that outlandish

depends what you mean by "recently" for print. FCC is awful yes
