Pretty obvious all of the tech oligarchies are colluding. They should be broken up, Apple, Google, Facebook, Oracle, Etc. All the major companies in all the major sectors of the economy collude with one another. I remember when the secret Apple/Google/Oracle collusion came out. On Hacker News people from the fast food industry stated that they engaged in the same practices between McDonalds/Burger King/Wendy's etc. So even the lowest rung of labor in the U.S. has the same collusion and illegal practices.
- LatteLazy 6y agoWhat we all think is happening and what you can prove in court are often two different things. That's where the real skill comes from legislators: writing laws that can effectively be enforced.
- pm90 6y agoActually, It depends on more than that: the skill of Federal Detectives to find and get key people to co-operate, the skill of Federal Prosecutors to argue these cases convincingly in front of a judge/jury etc. Lawmakers are required to pass reasonable laws and regulations, but these are often provide guidelines. Antitrust laws were written in response to specific issues with monopolization, and many Big Tech companies have managed to skirt around them by interpreting its provisions in specific ways.
