I don't understand this point of view. We should be addressing all forms of anti-competitive behavior. This included. The fact that this is being addressed at all even though it's a "minor" (which is laughable, considering it's Microsoft, one of the biggest tech companies in the world) issue is an incredibly positive event. I look forward to further anti-competitive behavior being looked at, whether Microsoft or Google or whoever else.
- Incipient 3y agoGoing after things that are technically anti-competitive, but realistically aren't particularly major, is a problem. Everyone thinks "yep we're doing our job, making a difference!" and stops there. Like a government going after tax evasion "we stopped Frank from claiming an air freshener in his car, so we're saving the economy!" while Facebook farms billions in profits offshore. Fixing something small has the risk of creating a facades of activity/effectiveness when in reality its still 90% broken.
- Sakos 3y ago> and stops there. What makes you think that's happening? This is just one of multiple things the EU has done and is doing about anti-competitive behavior. The EU has been doing far more than the US on this front. Don't mistake US complacency with the EU's efforts. It feels like you want to let "lesser" evils go in favor of just the "big" ones. Don't you see how immoral and problematic that is? > but realistically aren't particularly major Your opinion and not fact. It seems quite major to me.
