In a previous post I was discussing the assault on freedom of speech on the internet. thanatokephaloides was helpful in suggesting I missed an important tag -- Monopoly.

Well, son of a gun, lookee what popped up on my feed today.

Overthrow the Prince of Facebook

Peggy Noonan? That Peggy Noonan?

My concerns about Facebook had to do with its apparently monopolistic nature, slippery ethics and algorithmic threats to serious journalism.

For a second I actually hesitated: The imperious twerp runs the algorithms, controls the traffic, has all the dark powers! But I am an American, and one with her Irish up, so I hit send.

But I read about lobbyists coming at Republican congressional leaders and I think, it’s going to be like Mr. Zuckerberg’s meeting with the conservatives in 2016. A tech god will give them some attention, some respect, and they’ll fold like a cheap suit.

If they are as stupid and unserious as their critics take them to be, they will go to the meeting and be used.

They should say no and hit send.

That's something? A good read if you have the time.

The duopoly is finally finding a common target?
