Now it’s an international matter of national security. Let’s go world, time to de-americanize your tech.
That’s an American thing, not just Google. They only believe in a free market when it’s their products and services. Theft is fine as long as it’s only them.
this is just capitalism thing.
In a true Capitalist society a competitor would be fighting for same sales. What we see is lobbying of government to favour one monopolistic company.
No not really, this is how capitalism is supposed to work.
No, In a true free market competition drives prices down as each company aims to grab you as a customer and it forces efficiency in the manufacturing or development to cut costs. Since lobbying has taken over, there is no free market, it is manipulated to favour the bigger donor or other backend deals to eliminate competition.
For example in Canada we have a giant grocery chain that also has a property company, the property company will only lease to themselves, and they have agreements that no other stores can open a certain distance from them. It means that we overpay on all food
final goal of capitalism is to generate profits and thats what leads to lobbying and monopolies, thats why I said this is real capitalism.
Maybe the EU can slap some fines on that? It’s anti competitive and against the DMA i assume
You’re so out-of-touch if you believe that the EU is against this.
It’s especially weird coming from an apparent German. You know all that rhetoric about how the internet is no “wild west”. That means locking everything down. Only the properly licensed professionals are allowed to do stuff with properly regulated tools. That’s how it goes in Germany.
This stuff is what Google is supposed to do.
This is a matter of anti-competitive behavior and market manipulation. And historically, the EU has always been against that (especially if it’s detrimental to them, of course).
They’re in favor of regulation, but definitely not of individual companies handling it.
No. That’s not what these words mean.
Anti-competitive practices are business or government practices that prevent or reduce competition in a market. Antitrust laws ensure businesses do not engage in competitive practices that harm other, usually smaller, businesses or consumers. These laws are formed to promote healthy competition within a free market by limiting the abuse of monopoly power.
It’s exactly what these words mean.
