Cory Doctorow's latest column for Locus:
"is "Steering with the Windshield Wipers," and it ties together the growth of Big Tech with the dismantling of antitrust law (which came about thanks to Robert Bork's bizarre alternate history of antitrust, a theory so ridiculous that it never would have gained traction except that it promised to make rich people a lot richer).
The problems of Big Tech are almost all the results of how big they are, not the fact that they're doing tech. But all of our regulatory responses to Big Tech -- copyright filters, automated moderation laws, etc -- are about specifying the technology that these companies must use, not making the companies smaller so that their mistakes don't carry so much weight and so that their self-interested preferences aren't so readily turned into laws.
