Another interpretation here: US regulators have been asleep for decades, and they haven’t taken much of a look at a number of companies abusing their monopoly positions.
- Cthulhu_ 6y agoThere's that too, and the US political system ensures that that is kept in place - companies hire lobbyists, lobbyists cozy up to politicians, money is funneled to said politicians' election funds, and politicians are either formerly business leaders, or have a cushy high paying job waiting for them after their term if they play their cards right. I think with all this (and the cases vs FB, Apple, etc), the tech sector didn't manage to pay and influence the politicians enough. Which is quite telling for the US' political systems.
