Regulating Big Tech is like regulating a malignant tumour. You don’t regulate a malignant tumour. You cut it out, with enough of a surgical margin to ensure you get every last putrid bit to avoid regrowth.

(This is moot, of course, as we’re not even regulating Big Tech, we’re feeding it with subsidies, government contracts, and access to national healthcare and other sensitive data while the folks who should be regulating them eye their next lucrative gig beyond the revolving doors of their lobbies.)

For me there is a striking resemblance between humans trying to do social manipulation and p53 protein theme.

Like carcinogenic viruses, perversion, indoctrination and other problems, people who do power abuses need to fight against safeguards

P53 is often one of the first safeguard with harmful mutation in cancers..

@aral if the metaphor holds, then we'd better use the new techniques: instead of cutting something that is smaller than our knife we'd better cut the "supplies" that let the tumor grow: our data, our money and -where we can get hold of that- public data and public money. Right?
