> a market or platform owner/operator should not be allowed to also be a competitor within it This problem is somewhat analogous to regulatory capture, you dominate a market so totally you get to set the rules for everyone else too. There is no doubt in my mind that these rules should be set by democratically elected persons. As it is now, we are basically letting capitalist corporations get away with greediness on a scale of literal sea piracy. What’s more, we’re not protecting our culture, our children, or our values anymore because of this nonchalant laissez-faire attitude to what people STILL think is an industry in its infancy. WAKE UP, these people are on the brink of upending the very foundations of democratic society with their antivax-spewing clickbait engagement treadmills. Rant over.
