Don’t worry. I believe breaking the internet up back into small parts is a going to be a big trend in the coming years.
Breaking the internet? No. Breaking huge near-monopolies into smaller companies - I'd love to see it happen, but it never will.
We are going to have to get creative or settle in and prepare for an eternal reaming.

I think the logic is that those who caused the problem won't fix it (or they would have already). They have financial interest in not fixing it. Though I do expect a mix of voluntary and forced improvements, now that there is awareness. That's not a very daring prediction because both have already started ;)

Because Trump winning is the real issue behind all of these articles. There would be no "Big Tech" backlash (or a lot less of it) if Hillary had won.
