Regulating Big Tech: Lessons from the “Hall of Fallen Giants”

In recent years, concerns about "Big Tech" have sparked debate about competition and monopolies. Are these issues and debates new, or can we learn some lessons from the not-so-distant past?

Great information! Wonder if any technology development has taken place in microphones and audio since the '90s.....? 🤔

The goal should be to prevent today's giants from stymieing future innovation.

[@johnlocke4695]

I don't think these big tech companies are going anywhere. They are actively investing and adopting future technologies like AI, ML, etc.,

Today tech Giants basically buy anything that is a threat to them or just copied them. Plus stuff Android, Apple , Microsoft, Amazon have been monopoly fir decades
