Sadly, the only entities powerful enough to control FANGs are FANGs (although fingers crossed the EU holds it's nerve and EU nations belatedly act on the realisation that being beholden to US tech giants is a massive strategic blunder, akin to relying so heavily on US military satellite data for Ukraine).

Yes, new problems will require new solutions. I'm calling out the logic of paternalism and dependency, an impotent hope pinned on a "benevolent" corporation retaining absolute control forever.
I don't have much faith in Firefox saving us, given its organizational turnover and cultural issues.
I have much more faith in a new entrant, like Ladybird. I should be able to use Ladybird on iOS. Why not?
