> stopped by a court because this counted as unfair competition with private entities I came across this recently as well. This is one of the most insane aspects of our current zeitgeist. In a world where VC unicorns and megacorps commonly engage in dumping behavior to coerce market share, public orgs still need to walk on eggshells so they don't outcompete the "uwu smol bean" private sector. Even when they are providing what could be considered a public good or necessity, like weather info. Totally insane.
