How we Build Platforms
And, frankly, I don’t want to live in a society where pouring countless billions into a platform gives you automatic rule over people’s interactions, solely because no one else spent as much and you had the first mover / network effect advantage.

Regulators would need to follow up and put appropriate pressure on selected private consumer platforms, which implies they need to be well-resourced too.
