I don't get why we have to talk about the 1st amendment when the problem isn't Big Tech's ability or lack of ability to speak their mind. The problem is that they have virtual monopolies and that they clearly collude -- against their users and against competitors. That should be, and probably is, against the law on the grounds of monopoly or racketeering.

Start enforcing anti-trust on the biggest corps in America. Duh. Somehow Microsoft got in trouble for forcing people to install Internet Explorer (without preventing them from installing Firefox). That seems a lot less harmful than what, say, Apple is doing today. Apple won't let you install any unapproved software. Google bundles all kinds of their apps with Android.

Microsoft should have been broken up. Software would be a lot better, today, if they did, and I think their shareholders would have been better off, too. Monopoly stifles innovation. There's a good reason it's illegal.
