Sure, govts. should tax the FAANGs of the world more, but having a "stake" in them means govt. interests suddenly align with corporate interests, meaning regulation for the public good gets sidelined. Net neutrality anyone?

Net neutrality was killed without this policy and with no government stake in the tech industry. I don't follow.

It also potentially means the state partly owns the free speech platforms, which may have some risks.
