  @ThrillaRilla369 I was a mainframe systems programmer, I did not 'surf the web' back in the day, terribly insecure (worse now). I used IBMLink my entire career. We used arapnet, other early networks to research data at Berkley, UCLA, JPL. Mainframes are secure, always have been. When PC's, the web for everyone, AOL came out, we laughed and stayed with secure connections. We had email on the mainframe, profs (under VM) for word processing, long before the public knew what those things were. There is no security out in this non-ethernet world now! Https means nothing. Data mining is to be expected and reading terms and conditions should have intelligent people running from certain apps. I have never had a FB presence, nor will I. I constantly ask anyone around me, family, churches, friends, who pressure me for one app or another, "did you read their terms and conditions?" I know, Thrilla, you wanted cute answers. I'm supplying truth. X is my only social media and my husband had to talk me into it. Now, I'm a posting, replying, liking, following fool! But I won't download any other.

  23. **Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (2008)** — Lost over $18.5 billion nominally, equivalent to over **$20.0 billion** today due to global credit declines and equity write-downs. 24. **Alcatel (2001)** — Suffered massive merger-related write-downs and market destruction during the telecom equipment collapse, crossing the **$20.0 billion** inflation-adjusted threshold. 25. **Swiss Re (2008)** — Incurred tens of billions in asset impairments and structured credit losses during the financial crisis, placing its real-loss event at the **$20.0 billion** inflation-adjusted mark. The Three Eras of Corporate Destruction What stands out is how concentrated these losses are. The Dot-Com and Telecom Collapse (2000–2002) The telecom bubble produced the single greatest concentration of corporate losses ever observed. AOL Time Warner, JDS Uniphase, Qwest, Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone, Vivendi, Alcatel, and NTT all appear on the list. Trillions of dollars in market value evaporated as companies wrote down acquisitions, fiber networks, wireless licenses, and internet-related assets purchased at bubble-era valuations. The Global Financial Crisis (2008–2009) AIG, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Citigroup, Royal Bank of Scotland, UBS, Credit Suisse, Swiss Re, and Mitsubishi UFJ all suffered enormous losses as mortgage securities, derivatives, and structured credit markets collapsed. Unlike many dot-com write-downs, these losses reflected real capital destruction that threatened the stability of the global financial system. Industry-Specific Collapses General Motors appears three separate times on the list, highlighting decades of structural challenges within the auto industry. United Airlines reflects the severe financial strain associated with bankruptcy and restructuring. Nakheel demonstrates how quickly even seemingly unstoppable real-estate booms can reverse. The Half-Trillion-Dollar Club The four largest losses alone account for nearly $470 billion in inflation-adjusted value destruction: * **AOL Time Warner (2002):** ~$143 billion * **AIG (2008):** ~$128 billion * **JDS Uniphase (2001):** ~$104 billion * **Fannie Mae (2009):** ~$94 billion Combined, these four annual losses destroyed more value than the current market capitalization of many of the world's largest public companies. The lesson from this ranking is simple: the biggest corporate losses rarely occur because a company has a bad quarter or even a bad year. They happen when an entire narrative breaks—whether it is internet mania, telecom euphoria, housing prices that supposedly never fall, or financial engineering that appears risk-free until suddenly it isn't.

  When the Internet first appeared, many people thought AOL was the Internet. Later, people discovered the Internet was still there. AOL wasn't. Then came a time when people thought Yahoo was the Internet. After that Google was the Internet. Then Facebook was the Internet. And now AI companies are becoming the new center of attention.The Internet itself never disappeared. The center of gravity simply kept changing.

  @POTFES This is not accurate. The DMA, DSA, AI Act, and similar frameworks are not examples of member states forcing Brussels to overregulate. They are EU level regulatory projects, proposed, negotiated, adopted, and enforced through the EU institutional system. Member states are part of that machine, but pretending the problem is only national fragmentation conveniently ignores what Brussels itself is doing. And yes, a deeper internal market would be useful. Easier company formation, better access to capital, lower compliance costs, cheaper energy, and less fragmentation would help. But that is not the same as giving the Commission more power to micromanage technology. If American tech dominates, Europe should compete by building better products on honest market terms, not by regulating superior foreign companies and hoping European champions appear afterward. Markets are not static. IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Nokia, BlackBerry, Yahoo, AOL, MySpace, and many others once looked dominant in their own domains. They were challenged, displaced, or diminished because better technologies, better products, and better business models emerged. That is how real competition works. Innovation comes from builders, capital, talent, risk, and consumer choice. It does not come from Brussels officials deciding how platforms should be designed.
