The conventional answer within contemporary (say, post-1950) US capitalism is: nothing, unless they are a monopoly.
I don't agree with this assessment, but it has many believers and even a few arguments on its side.
- TulliusCicero 3y agoCorrect: the government should not be micromanaging generically bad business practices unless it amounts to actual abuse of consumers/workers/the envinronment/etc. Just doing really dumb bad shit that'll result in a failing business isn't that. If Apple wants to stupidly censor people at the keyboard level and thus incite everyone to switch to Windows or Linux (or Android), well that's dumb, but doing dumb things shouldn't be generally illegal.
