The parts of the industry you hate are already illegal.
I don't see how your proposal is anything different from a gun grab. We have a constitutional right to freedom of speech and press. I would not trust the enforcement apparatus that would be needed to make your objective a reality.
The problem isn't unreliable people. The problem is power itself. People are ALWAYS unreliable.
And if the GOP is smart this time they'll ignore it because bickering over settlement free peering is the most Comcast-grade petty bullshit.
There is no political "win" on opposing network neutrality because the burden of enacting it falls most heavily on the networks... many of whom are on the list of America's most hated companies. A few are under investigation for defrauding the FCC on improvement grants.
Best to leave the issue be and tell any company that comes lobbying to go fuck themselves.
Microwave weapons cause the sensation that you are on fire.
It's been a good century since they started doing that. No correlation to cancer or anything.
That's not... entirely true.
There WAS a 600% increase childhood leukemia among children raised within 4 miles of the Vatican Radio AM transmitter. However, in that situation the Holy See was operating their antenna at over twice the maximum legal power output permitted in Italian law (which they ignore).
The signal was so strong it could be picked up on telephone lines as a phantom signal throughout Rome even with noise cancellers. As in, you pick up your telephone and in the background you'd faintly hear Vatican Radio. Get close enough to the antenna and you could hear it on just a speaker with a length of wire connected to nothing.
Okay let's start at the very high level.
What Are Keiretsu?
Keiretsu are massive vertically and horizontally integrated Japanese business groups, each of which is consolidated around a private bank, some of which can trace their lineages back to the familial Zaibatsu of Meiji era Japan. The big six horizontal Keiretsu are DKB, Fuyo, Mitsubishi, Mitsui, Sanwa, and Sumitomo, although of those, Mitsubishi and Sumitomo, along with Mizuho Financial, are really the most powerful.
Then there are the newer vertical keiretsu, most of which deal in modern manufacturing like Honda and Hitachi and really grew out of the war or postwar era. Although 7&i Holdings (literally 7-11, as in the C-store chain) is also getting big enough to be counted among them (much like how Walmart and Amazon are the elephant in the room in the US).
So what about Sony?
Sony is reckoned among the vertical keiretsu. Like all their peers, they have a private bank, Sony Financial Group, which holds over 14 trillion yen in assets (almost half the total worth of Sony Group) and includes Sony Bank and Sony Life. SFG is somewhere around 10-20% of the total Sony Group revenues, so it's entirely possible that in some years, they could potentially be the leading component (ahead of the various individual entertainment and electronics companies in the group).
Where it gets even more complicated is that the horizontal keiretsu usually have their claws in the vertical ones, and are possessive of what's "theirs" even when they don't own enough to bring them into their group. Sony is effectively in the orbit of Sumitomo, while Nintendo is in the orbit of Mitsubishi, as is Square Enix.
Anyway, you would really have to go down deep into Sony group's financials to be sure, but it wouldn't surprise me if during the early loss-leader days of the PS3, that Sony Interactive Entertainment was probably not looking so hot compared to its peers in the group. But the whole point of the group being built around a central private bank is that they can do that sort of stuff without having to deal with activist investors complaining about the short term consequences to shareholder value. They can play the strategic long game.
But if I remember right, Nintendo have a war chest so large that they'd laugh in the face of any attempt at buying them.
They also have Master Trust Bank as as 17% owner. So while they're not actually part of the Mitsubishi Group, they're distantly related, in the same way that Sony is distantly related to Sumitomo.
If a hostile takeover was attempted, Nintendo would simply call in support from on high and buy back their foreign held shares. The Keiretsu do not let go of their shit.
Germany was Rome's Afghanistan.
Purchases
There are three worth mentioning.
1. Log Horizon DotHack is the WoW of video game isekai. SAO is the FFXIV of video game isekai. Log Horizon is the EVE Online of video game isekai, with all the implications that come with that.
2. Those Who Hunt Elves Has the confidence to go 100% Ash Williams.
3. Aura Battler Dunbine Goes isekai, and then brings the isekai back with it to start World War 3. This is the one where Tomino really does kill 'em all.
I am okay with this.
AI synthesis threatens to be even worse than recording in its impact on creative media.
To the extent that it equalizes creators, it does so by appropriation. It doesn't enable creativity, it enables mimicry.
It was a continuation of a clone wars thing. It didn't come out of nowhere.
In season 3 of clone wars, Anakin, Obi-wan, and Ahsoka visit Mortis and encounter the three force celestials (the Father, Son, and Daughter) who try to take Anakin as their successor. This story was from Lucas himself, and the original plot for the last three movies was supposed to involve the force gods and the resolution of their conflict. Luke was supposed to go there and it would finally explain the whole balance the force prophecy thing.
Anyway, towards the end of Rebels, Ezra enters their realm. Morai, a form or familiar of the daughter, leads him to Ahsoka.
One of the things Rebels establishes is that force users are potentially capable of being so much more than just spoon bending precogs with laser swords. A strong enough force user can do 40k eldar shit like creating webways.
In short, Filoni was working from Lucas's materials for VII-IX as they were when Lucas sold the company to Disney, and Rebels was setting the stage for those movies.
Before 1950, the whole country had brothels. It's particularly hilarious in the midwest; cruise the historical district of any smaller city and you'll find a house that was very obviously the town bicycle hub. Built larger than normal, but not on the street where all the normal monopoly man mansions are.
It took a world war's worth of military doctors to convince an entire generation that riding the town bike wasn't the best idea.
