Fair enough. I’m using the term colloquially to mean a market in which actors are participating out of free choice and essentially getting what they pay for and what they expect. A market in which consumers are informed and empowered. Scammers don’t like informed and empowered consumers. Authoritarians don’t like informed and empowered citizens. It’s a match-match.
