Big tech - whose fault? --- We worry with reason about the power of big tech. Yet, is it 'their fault' for becoming dominant and powerful, or rather ours - and of our governments and regulators - that have left it for so long without intervention?

And also what could have happened if we had had regulatory frameworks (for monopoly of digital services, taxation, and content control) from the beginning - would we ever have the benefits of creative internet services that we have today?
