This really underscores that "The Company Town" is very much alive. Also move over East India Trading Co.

We've let the Internet too few big players. It used to be more diverse, more federated. Now it's just the New TV for Advertisers to shit down your neck.

I'm not even sure if we can go back without inventing new technologies not captured by bureaucratic establishments.
