Regardless if the solution is government intervention, it seems rather funny to say the modern internet is a place that all entrants can play freely. It’s changed quite a bit since when The Diamond Age was first written.
We can play freely, invent new solutions and approaches without having the government test their safety, without having to get special approval by anybody.
I am aware of the bias of large companies that stops certain people from building, which is why I wrote play.
The antitrust left says large companies prevent people from building freely, but doesn’t the free speech right also claim that large companies are preventing from playing- or rather, speaking- freely?
Seems like different activities are falling under corporate purview.
