Hard to untangle the incentive for collusion + need to police legit bad behavior. This could be a few large providers saying 'we control most email traffic, let's control all email traffic'. Or it could be serious players saying 'spam hurts our users, let's stop criminals using a blanket rule'. More likely it's a schelling point where large players are rent-seeking (crowding out some competition), but only to the extent they can preserve the illusion this is about policing spam. Suspect we'll start asking platforms to offer something like due process in the law -- administrative checks that increase the cost to administer a system, and reduce the quality to end users, but increase transparency and make it harder for the platform to engage in corruption.
