Thanks for the link to the article. A few good reads in the
linked docs and rather interesting/informative with regard to
TBL’s thoughts, and yours. That being said, Solon’s
bias/subjectivity/slant was rather apparent so that might be why
some readers here were left with a bad aftertaste if they didn’t
dig deeper. I agree this thread would be more productive without
the debates.

I don’t think we need this debate on free market ideology.
We’ve had it before, several times. By all means debate it, and
link to that from here, but we don’t need yet another topic for
it IMO.
I suggest instead we use this topic to looking into what Tim is
talking about specify wrt regulation, or specific proposals being
made to regulate Google et al, maybe even GDPR (though I think that
deserves is own topic) but debating ‘free markets’ belongs
elsewhere really. Its more ideology that debate.

Are you saying the solution to the problem of too much
regulation is more regulation?
If we can’t repeal the regulation that is already there, at
least we can avoid adding more regulation to an already existing
problem.
These big companies that you want to regulate, they are the ones
that write all the regulations. (That fact is cleverly hidden from
the public.) That’s how they got to be big in the first place.
They then use these regulations to exclude competition. The more
regulations you have, the worse the problem gets.
