that's funny, I don't recall unaccountability being a problem a very short time ago, when big-tech company commissars could evict anyone they didn't like for any reason or no reason at all. I vividly remember being told that platforms can do whatever the fuck they want, that they don't owe you shit, and that if you don't like it then you should make your own (the latter was then retracted when people actually did, only to find themselves harassed in every possible way)

You, like Elon, appear to have missed the last decade or so of arguments about app stores, who has access, what's allowed or not, and what cut of the money the platform can get. https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/es/ip_20_1073 https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/es/ip_20_... > The European Commission has opened formal antitrust investigations to assess whether Apple's rules for app developers on the distribution of apps via the App Store violate EU competition rules. The investigations concern in particular the mandatory use of Apple's own proprietary in-app purchase system and restrictions on the ability of developers to inform iPhone and iPad users of alternative cheaper purchasing possibilities outside of apps.
