      every now and then, even on this community, I see praises towards the new leader of FCC (IIRC) who’s taking a hard stance agains big tech and elsewhere (Doctorow’s blog IIRC again) about the wider “bidenomics” of going out against monopolies and trusts by empowering existing laws and agencies. Guess the answer is “because now there is an administration in power who at least pretends to care”.
