No one should have this kind of market power. https://twitter.com/RepKenBuck/status/1597309680497217536 https://twitter.com/RepKenBuck/status/1597309680497217536 How is it anticompetitive if Twitter can be accessed from the web?
- jfengel 4y agoEven without the web, it's such an odd statement. A monopoly comes with obvious powers. A duopoly does not: the simplified models of capitalism use just two players to show how they keep each other in check. It's still something to keep an eye on, but nowhere near justifying "No one should have this kind of market power." Add in the fact that the web site adds a third player, and this looks less like a serious attempt to defend consumers than a knee-jerk response.
