I would use the internet like I did back in 2005 I guess. Seriously… the necessity of these tech companies is a mixture of them sniffing their own farts too much, propaganda from them to ensure they are perceived as essential, and finally people being too lazy to find alternatives.

The conjecture that: when tech bros talk about “disrupting the market” it’s actually a dogwhistle for fraud and subverting regulations with illegal tactics quick enough to grow very big and influence governments to alter the policies in their favor; gets one more example to make it into a theorem.
