      5. But it splits along two lines. This is a sticker board of attendees at #FooCamp. Most wanted to see action against tech platforms.pic.twitter.com/sfbUek5vYV

      6. Multiple ex-platform employees are frightened at what the platforms have enabled. BUT there were others who have a different scary view.

      7. One person discussed, with strong sympathetic tones, how China's government planning techniques work really well. Lots of nods.

      8. It's not that anyone was calling for an authoritarian takeover. It's just there's a waking up to the politics of what has been built.

      9. And most people were sort of groping for answers that are democratic, but a few were groping for different answers.

      10. That is very similar to what we see in politics. So McConnell, who is an authoritarian at heart, is fumbling towards his answer.

      11. But the point is, these platforms aren't going to be left alone. They will be broken up or used as instruments of oppression/cenorship.

      13. Last point is that there seems to be an understanding that these are not tech companies, they are tech *conglomerates*. M&A is core.

      14. Facebook may be a natural monopoly, but Facebook Inc is a holding company of natural monopolies (FB, Instgram, WhatsApp, etc).

      15. As this debate continues, realize that when people say the platforms have to *do something*, the details of that something matter.

          (Also I don't concede any of these networks are necessarily natural monopolies, but even if they are, the holding companies are not)
