A fair platform provider would not compete with the businesses on its platform, they would be an unbiased referee. Platform providers are able to snoop on the behavior of their users, unlike any other businesses. So they have an unfair advantage when they compete. If we continue to allow platform providers to publish products on their own platforms we are moving away from fair market competition. Business platforms, like investment exchanges, should be regulated.
