@AKDiWa None of them are monopolies though.

@jmw150 Depends on your definition. They clearly have enormous market power and free markets only work if no one has (buying, selling, labor, political) power.

@AKDiWa Going by the correct scientific definition from modern economics. Large company = bad, is a seperate debate.

@AKDiWa LMAO at whoever believes this guy is really believing the shit he is saying. That’s like the pedophiles in the Fediverse saying they like Lolis but hate pedophilia…

@jmw150 "In economics, a monopoly is a single seller. In law, a monopoly is a business entity that has significant market power, that is, the power to charge overly high prices, which is associated with a decrease in social surplus." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly

@AKDiWa Still option A. Legalese is full of half-baked terms that are not universal. It is why contracts spend a few paragraphs defining what the words mean.

@AKDiWa Ah, you are German. I guess this is just idle complaining. Well, unless you further remove freedom of information, and create a firewall like China, the self impossed subjugation of your people will probably continue.

@AKDiWa You could also consider digital ethics and security as something to teach your primary school children to avoid manipulative services. German education looks like a mess of apathy and arbitray selection based on grades. So I am guessing it would be an uphill battle there as well.

@AKDiWa But my guess is that it will all be a wash. Russia easily took the German capitol before. Your sad attempt at empire will probably be supplanted by a real one. Nazi poser.
