I actually disagree a bit - I think there’s very little incentive (regardless of what americans might want) for government bodies to ever truly regulate any of these companies because they give them so much more power to surveil and prevent dissent and, essentially, do things that our government is not supposed to be able to do, but “legally” through loopholes. Maybe I’m an optimist, but i do think a majority of people want revolutionary changes for the better to our economy- and accountability from corporations (who are currently acting almost in the capacity of unelected governments in many cases), and data privacy. But the people who would have the power to regulate meta and google and the rest just…don’t wanna. People come together, or try to, people lobby and make phone calls and protest, movements do exist, but lawmakers with sufficient power to change things are just deliberately unresponsive, because they work for capital, not us. We definitely have a low degree of fart synchronization here, but I don’t think it’s our only problem when it comes to things like meta. Meta has as much power as congress, but we can’t vote them out.
