Color me shocked. Our public forums, and markets take place on privately owned platforms like Facebook and Amazon. What’s next, Google prioritizing its own properties in search results?
The answer isn’t more legislation, it’s an open source ecosystem that will gradually disrupt the closed gardens the same way the Web disrupted AOL and Compuserve and Prodigy and MSN. It wasn’t much different from Facebook and LinkedIn back in the day. Give people a way to run their own store AND make an app (such as a browser) that can search across all of them and compare, and Amazon go bye bye. More info:
