Alternate title: "Men who had power to stop themselves from being relieved of their power upset that tech companies said: 'Thanks. We'll take it from here'"
@matt Totally agree, but years of deregulation have created this mess. And yes, the "tech companies" was my own eliding of the article title.

Original article title: "Republicans and Democrats increasingly agree: Big Tech is too powerful"
I agree that tech is "too powerful", although for different reasons. Monopolies should not take power from elected governments.
Monopolistic brands are not the same thing as "tech companies". G.A.F.A.M. are not technologies; they're brands. They're destroying the economic environment in which actual tech companies can exist.
