Yes the internet as we currently have it would have to change. You would need human scale organizations to be able to handle their communities. That's great, anti-fragile with lots of competition. Having rights is hard, it's scary even, but rights come with responsibilities.
Keeping this rule in place does more than prevent Big Tech from taking responsibility. It actively harms competition. What has enabled them to grow beyond reasonable scale has allowed them to prevent alternatives.

It's become too capital intensive to fight them. They can be unprofitable for decades or more but you need to put food on the kitchen table. No cooperative or niche you can carve out can save you against this. Besides they changing the rules too -- no vpns, no GrapheneOS, etc..
