So the only competition left in tech is about which one of the monopolies is the worst? :)

It was kind of bizarre realizing all the promises from Silicon Valley about a better world materialized into a monopolistic rent seeking surveillance adtech, basically. Personally, 10 years ago I was still breathing the "let's change the world" -ethos. The world got changed alright, for much worse.

Let's hope EU brings some sanity back into the market.
