MCAS.
Performance problems have been discussed earlier in this thread, but do not seem to be the cause with the information we have now (as the forward speed was steadily increasing).
Also, there have been rumours about an ATC call to return due to an unreliable airspeed indication.

With this in mind, and also the strong resemblance to the Lion Air flight, it is not so strange that the main focus is on the very system that caused Lion Air to go down.
