How in God's name can someone be forced (compelled by force or necessity : involuntary) by an incentive? No, your usage of the word is against the one used by the code of law regarding market regulation, simple as that.
- danielmarkbruce 2y agohttps://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/force https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/force - read the verb section. There is no tight definition of "force" in US market regulation. You are making things up. The phrase "market forces" is directly quoted in the ruling. Market forces are incentives pushing market participants to behave in certain ways. This is econ 101.
- j_maffe 2y agopush != force. The definition of the word "forced" (which you used) I gave you is from Merriam-Webster. The definition you're giving is of the word "force" which is different. Google isn't forced to maximize profit at all costs if it breaks the law, no company is. No boards are vulnerable to lawsuits for not maximizing profit either. That's a myth. Having market forces doesn't mean involved companies are forced to do anything illegal. Do you think because it's the same verb that it has the same meaning, or did you just Ctrl+F "force" and copy the first instance you found?
- danielmarkbruce 2y agoThe definition you gave has the word "force" in it. And a synonym for compel is force. All paths lead to defining "force". You can't be this silly, surely. Whatever strange definition you've made for yourself of force and forced isn't what the rest of the humans are using.
