some of those cases will involve healthcare providers or energy distributors, so what? The case potentially affects all transactions where there is processing or market-making intermediary. There's no specificity on how it applies to Google, Amazon or Facebook products even those are named in the headline. It's just a terribly written editorial with vague legal analysis and mentions tech firms for click-bait sensationalism.

- rosser 9y agoNo healthcare provider or energy distributor has as large a share of their respective markets as Amazon or Facebook do theirs. They're in the best position to abuse their market dominance. If this ruling is upheld, their ability to do that is directly affected — specifically, strengthened — significantly. Perhaps irreversibly.
