If there ever was a example of anti-competitive practices, its this. from https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/anticompetitive-practices https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/anticompetitive-practices: > It is unlawful for a company to monopolize or attempt to monopolize trade, meaning a firm with market power cannot act to maintain or acquire a dominant position by excluding competitors or preventing new entry. Seems pretty freaking clear that this would prevent new entries to the social media space, e.g. mastodon.
