We do not need government intervention to handle relations between companies and their researchers.

There's no 'whistle blowing' there, this is not even remotely on the 'needs intervention' radar.

'The Current Situation' with G and FB is complex, just because there might be some anti-trust issues over here, or some 'bad thing over there', does not mean that 'this issue here' needs intervention or even remedy.

With respect to 'Bias and AI' - companies are pretty self aware of this, and don't mind adjusting. I suggest the best way is to have independent researchers publishing, and letting those facts + some voices do the work. The researcher in question here actually published some work highlighting the challenges of inequality in data and G responded well to that. So that ironically might have been a better model than what they are doing now.
