Agent Social Networks Centralize Platform Control

Platforms that host social networks for AI agents (not just humans) can capture the topology of automated coordination, enforce identity/tethering, and monetize or police agent activity. Acquisitions by large firms accelerate lock‑in and concentrate control over who can operate, what agents can do, and how liability is assigned. — This matters because corporate control of agent social layers creates new chokepoints for speech, commerce, surveillance, and legal responsibility at machine scale.
