What this world needs is pro-active legislation.

The current state of Amazon is the result of a very slow trajectory taking 20 years. It happened in plain sight and still we allow it to grow until it's a monster where most of commerce has to submit to.

We allow Google to become the leading search engine, advertiser, browser maker, mobile operating system maker. Effectively owning the internet. These should be 4 companies, not one. And even the 4 companies should not be of the current size.

Stop allowing companies to grow into platforms, gatekeepers, monopolists that squeeze everybody dry.

The current state is anti-market and anti-capitalistic. There no longer is any market when you allow these monstrosities.
