That's... generally how governments should work, no? The government should not let private entities undermine it's power.
In the US at least, this is laid out at the very beginning of the Declaration of Independence:
> That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government
Bringing the context back in to this discussion, I don't have a strong opinion. The power the tech companies wield is scary indeed, but the amount of political dysfunction is also pretty scary.
I suppose, since they are equally scary to me, that I'd prefer them to have equal power to act as a check against each other?
But with that being said, yea I agree with you here in theory. But it's exceedingly difficult for me to not be skeptical about it when I think about it as a power struggle between a Congresswoman and a tech company over who gets to fuck me over.
The thing is, at least the Congresswomen is democratically elected and (in theory) serves the interest of their constituents. Whereas a company serves the interest of it's shareholders, by law, so well-being of it's customers and even employees is secondary to it's legal mandate for profit.
You might be confusing your audience more than you are accomplishing your other objective.
But I definitely appreciate your comment here and it's something I'll continue to evaluate. On one hand it's shouting into the void. On the other... well... it's probably still shouting into the void.
