This is a lot along the lines of questioning to large tech firm representatives yesterday in the senate- if these large tech companies are monopolizing due to having all these separate products and bolstering each product over other equivalent products.
But when criticized, each company defended itself by trying to say that each of their individual components had hot competition, even though they also defended the tight integration of their own product suites(arguably over other individual products) as for the client. Google's representative even claimed that google can be entirely avoided if a customer desired.
- roblabla 7y agoHah, that's rich. Good luck avoiding google ads, recaptcha, or google analytics. Those aren't products we're direct users of, but they definitely aggregate our data. I guess you can avoid them by simply not going on any website. recaptcha in particular is extremely vicious: you can't avoid it without giving up access to the website - even though that website isn't Google's property. With cloudflare forcing recaptcha if they don't like you, this effectively blocks an extremely large portion of the internet out.
