> How are those ideas anti-consumer or anti-business? Arbitrarily banning things you don't agree with doesn't support the development of new ideas, nor does it give customers the choices they want. > operating system has been an app delivery platform for both businesses and consumers, not an innovative technology in itself. Uhh, the innovation has been in app delivery. Regardless, you're not the arbitrator of what is innovative or not. Nor do you get to ban things because you don't think it's innovative enough. > Most infrastructure is already running linux Crazy how that managed to happen without regulatory enforcement. Kinda proving your own point wrong. > The purpose of regulation would simply be to better maintain these relationships with foundational pieces of software. If most infrastructure is already running Linux, why do we need taxes and bans to enforce this? > I don't think even AT&T ever owned copper mines. Imagine a world where the quality of copper in your city was so terrible that you couldn't make a call ~15% the time because of hand wringing about cost or pseudo-philosophizing about big bad government overreach. You know what would be worse? Government regulations that say even though this is shitty, this is required. > pseudo-philosophizing Stop adding silly words to try and make things sound smarter. > That's the world we're living in right now with cybersecurity incidents, businesses unintentionally reinventing the wheel, consumers being duped into scams, etc. I have no idea what this means. Reinventing the wheel is great, lol. It's how we get better wheels... Sorry but did you really think we peaked on wheels 2,000 years ago???
