First time I’ve ever retweeted @ewarren But she’s right—Big Tech has way too much power to silence Free Speech. They shouldn’t be censoring Warren, or anybody else. A serious threat to our democracy. https://t.co/VoesOKSqhA

Call me nutty, but the way proposals work is you have to go off what was offered. We can’t all make up our own version of an intended meaning or fill in details how we each predict or hope they will play out. We have to take the proposal for what it says and doesn’t say.

Where Warren's Wronghttps://t.co/11D3tS1TrC

Warren's proposal is wrong about history, the source of tech company power, and the nature of tech itself.
Then, what antitrust regulation should actually focus on.
I’m not really sold on Warren’s proposal but industry insiders insisting on making the case against it through flagrant misrepresentation makes me think she may be onto something. https://t.co/Gjox65c18R

A better set of policies to restore competition in the digital age would be (1) consumer right to API access (2) consumer right to side load apps (3) restored ability for small companies to go public / sensible regulation of crypto currencies. https://t.co/4bOFTnZ5NK

This whole @benthompson piece is great, but especially the part where he punctures the argument that the antitrust action against Microsoft somehow allowed Google to succeed https://t.co/h6MG8VVxeo

You really should watch today’s whole conversation between @AnandWrites and @ewarren. I wasn’t expecting to be but I was on the edge of my seat half the time. Hilarious, fascinating, inspiring, and informative. #SXSW https://t.co/MObZ0GUV6a

1/ Antitrust success is a tale, like many, told by the victors. Usually, however, the only victors are the regulators and lawyers. Conflating/reversing cause/effect is the norm. When customers win, as they often do, the question worth asking is "why"? https://t.co/APbC8P1ptk

Insightful thought on what @ewarren's antitrust proposal gets wrong by @benthompson

1. Antitrust suit against Microsoft for IE not related to Google's rise
2. Mergers aren't why FB, Google & Amazon are dominant.
3. Apple not having apps in store farcicalhttps://t.co/KI6QmUf1k5

How To Actually Break Up Big Tech https://t.co/Pxs2q0DPBk

Do we want a world of seamlessly integrated digital services organized by a few tech giants, or the competition and chaos of the early internet? That's the question Elizabeth Warren's plan to break up Big Tech hinges on. https://t.co/7ExzuqZlMk

Some great points here re: Elizabeth Warren's proposal to break up the tech companies. We wouldn't have to do that if we had open protocols, open APIs and open data https://t.co/rAOoKp006v via @Techdirt
