The Rise of Antitrust in the United States

Big tech critic Cory Doctorow lays out a four-part plan to save the news media from big tech’s stranglehold.

The plan: create a comprehensive new privacy law, open up the app stores to true competition, return to the internet’s founding principle of true end to end delivery, and finally, splinter Meta and Google into smaller independent competing companies.

Would it work? How close are we to any of this?
