Once again, politicians are trying to fix something that isn't broken and are going to make a bigger mess than whatever it is they're trying to change.

This whole thing reminds me of Alice in Wonderland.

The "broken" thing is (and always has been) the existence of low cost, low barrier-to-entry competitors to monopoly power.

Yes. Makes me wonder who is putting money into the pockets of the legislators, because they have everything to gain by building deeper moats.

trying to fix something that ain’t broken and more importantly they have 0 clue how it works.

From their perspective, it's broken if they don't control it and/or major corporations can't extract rent from it.

Systems which work fine for the rest of us without their interference are broken as far as they see it.

i think they don’t have the tools and understanding to figure our what works and what does not work in tech. clueless. that’s the word i’m looking for
