Nutty idea for discussion. Should the US go in the other direction and officially sanction some of these monopolies with the tradeoff that they have to accept some extra oversight/regulation (ex. telecoms)?
It could be argued that some sort of oversight of these things is sorely needed. The well documented ability of mobile apps to influence behavior, and collect and exfiltrate the detailed personal data of US citizens at population scale presents an unprecedented national security risk - especially in the age of AI.
