Probably a grain of truth to that, but no more. Sure, there are plenty of valid concerns and discussions to be had about Facebook (where I work BTW). OTOH, a lot of the most vitriolic commentary, from both fellow techies and from traditional media, seems to have at least a tinge of Tall Poppy Syndrome to it. Does anyone really think $newspaper or $startup would be any less problematic if they grew to the same size? Get real. Maybe if we dropped some of the double standards and blind hate, we could actually have those important conversations about real solutions to real problems.
That's a good point. The government broke up Bell Labs when it got too big for the public good. It's high time a few of the modern telecommunications giants have the same done to them.
