- ImPostingOnHN 3y agojust to be clear, you're asking me, has a big tech company ever worked to stifle competition? if so, I'm not sure I follow why you're asking: do you believe this has never happened, or do you agree it has, but can't think of a single example?
- nemo44x 3y agoI think I was asking when has it happened that a tech company has used these tactics to put everyone out of business so as to create a monopoly. I feel like that's what the article advocating against. But I'm not sure it's a real problem.
- ImPostingOnHN 3y agojust to be clear, in response to a discussion about big tech companies working to stifle competition (which is bad for consumers), you're asking for examples of something different, in which there is a complete monopoly with no competitors whatsoever? forgive me, but such a topic change sounds a bit like an attempt to move the goalposts, to avoid talking about the actual topic, which is big tech working to stifle competition (which is bad for consumers) to avoid confusion, we can explicitly state here that a complete or successful monopoly is not necessary for a company to work to stifle competition (which is bad for consumers), so let's get that out of the way first
