Faced with new laws in California and other states, big tech lobbyists want to sign a “Memorandum of Understanding” to prevent “a compliance market where lawyers drive the decisions.”
This is a farce. Big corporations and their lackey interest organizations employ armies of lawyers all the time to get their way. To then say it shouldn’t be a matter of law to prevent monopoly is at the least hypocritical, at the most an over reach of power and influence.
Your device, your choice.
The fundamental problem here is those monopolies having unfettered access to regulatory law making processes. Right now it’s as if these companies are free to regulate themselves and everyone is unhappy because they misuse those powers to enrich themselves at the cost of everyone else. The minimum requirement is to break them up for such overreach.
