I don't really think so. Anti-trust law is outdated. It may have worked for the static sort of corporation that produces stuff like a tire factory, but it doesn't work well for tech corporations. They evolve too fast, and by the time anti-trust gets around to it and the court case is done, the damage is done.
We need a whole new set of laws of technology that go beyond the feeble anti-trust laws we have today.
- snozolli 2y agoLet's start by enforcing existing anti-trust laws while you work on these new ones.
- ANewFormation 2y agoEvery major tech corporation is grossly in violation of anti-trust laws. 'Back in the day' Microsoft lost an anti-trust lawsuit over nothing but bundling Internet Explorer with Windows, seriously! [1] Nowadays that's not even scratching the surface of what companies are doing. But we seem to have simply stopped enforcing anti-trust for the largest corporations, about the time they all started joining PRISM. I don't think that's a coincidence. Quid pro quo. At one point in time the concept of the separation of State and Church was revolutionary. It's time for the separation of State and Big Business/Banking. So many things could be fixed basically overnight if the relationship between corporations and the government was more adversarial, and less incestuous.
