> I don't like (government) regulation, but I feel that this should be regulated... Ha, wow. "I do not like regulation, until it affects me, then I love it." > Imagine having a potato farm, being able to sell potatos only to walmart, and walmart baning you from selling via them... What you are talking about here is the dream of Libertarians.

It doesn’t affect me at all either way. I’m all for government regulation that forces a company to be transparent where customers can make informed decisions. It’s not some ignorant government officials trying to establish technical standards. It’s a very Libertarian stance that give consumers the power to make informed decisions. Notice I did not say that the government should have oversight on the process that private companies are allowed to ban users. I said the independent review board should be answerable to the board of directors not the CEO.

    Transparency should always be required to allow intelligent individuals to make informed decisions about how they spend their money.

      How much transparency? Can I walk into any corporations office and go through their file cabinets?

        The information that’s needed for you to make an informed decision between alternatives on the products you buy. You don’t need to know that Apple is thinking about acquiring Netflix to determine if the rules on the App Store are more agreebable than the play store

        Who are you to decide for me what I need to know and what I don’t need to know? If Apple is going to buy Netflix they may buy it and shut it down. Or at least not let it on the Apple platform. That might be important to know if I’m going to dedicate myself to the ecosystem.

    I’ll answer for the commentor “When it affects my profit!”
