Biden administration is going after Tech Titans

Shockingly ignorant statement from Hovenkamp, one of the most well-known antitrust law academics. Perhaps he has been retained by Big Tech. Or the journalist took the statement out of context.

> The campaign in the courts reflects a growing bipartisan consensus concerned about the power of sprawling tech companies whose products and services pervade the lives of everyday Americans, experts told ABC News.

But, they added, the push also indicates a concrete effort to protect consumers and enhance private sector competition, as well as update anti-monopoly enforcement to address 21st century problems.

Sure, we can say that. And likely chuckle. Books such as "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism" and "Stand Out of Our Light" tend to say or at least infer otherwise.

This is about control.

These companies are now better positioned to influence social expectations and social norms better than the government. Take away the "carrot" of taxes and most people would be asking, "Uncle who? Sam??"
