Regulating Big Tech is like regulating a malignant tumour. You don鈥檛 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鈥檙e not even regulating Big Tech, we鈥檙e 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.)
