What I think when I think about BIG TECH tech - after the #SIEPRSummit.

Bottom line: “We have a BIG problem – especially with Google and Facebook – wake up and DON'T say it’s not about antitrust. Unprecedented phenomena require new thinking.” Let me elaborate in this THREAD

The economics. Markets with formidable network externalities, entry barriers, endogenous sunk costs, business models with ‘free’ goods, consumer behavioural biases and inertia (defaults are kings) -> endemic market failures. 1st fundamental theorem of welfare economics FAILS
2/
The size of the problem. Take whole US population, add total EU population. Multiply by a factor 3: you get size of customer base of FB or of G. Dimension is staggering. (BASTA with the MySpace counterexample! They’ve been dominant for over a decade – wait another 10 years?).
