#GoogleDominance: "Then there’s its deal with Apple, which is virtually identical to what #JudgeMehta found to be the original #Apple-#Google arrangement enabling the illegal #monopolization of the #searchmarket.
Mehta’s failure to impose a remedy was permission for Google to repeat this scheme with generative AI. And now it has. This deal will ensure that Google’s artificial intelligence chatbot product will become dominant in the most important mobile ecosystem in the world. And its experience structuring #adtech markets suggest that if it mediates the entire economy, many tradition businesses will wind up like newspapers, eliminated as Google appropriates profit margins for itself and destroys the ability of consumers to differentiate products based on quality, #innovation or other values. It could be an extinction level event for many commercial areas, like the death of the #openweb, and a dramatic narrowing of consumer choice."

I missed this great news earlier this week. Monopolies are bad and now groceries won’t be further consolidated.
Sigh of relief.

#Historical #UnionSolidarity #Art.
“The Hand That Will Rule the World” by Ralph Chaplin. June 30, 1917.The symbol of the clinched fist has been a symbol of #solidarity as early as 1917. “The Hand That Will Rule the World” by Ralph Chaplin is an illustration referring to the #IWW (Industrial Workers of The World). Industrial unionism began when skilled workers were displaced by modern machinery and the #monopolization of industries. It was a union that believed industries should be controlled by the workers, benefiting the many instead of enriching the few, and create better working conditions.
In this image, the workers are uniting their arms and creating one giant fist, which represents solidarity and #unity, while holding tools, representing manual labor, while factories in the backdrop symbolize the machinery displacing the workers.

Nothing to see here, just another underhanded #Conservative #powergrab obtained through secretive consolidation of right wing parties.
These #corrupt #cons seek to further divide and polarize all of #Canada through their “unite to collectively hate” campaign, while the center and left rip up agreements and quarrel amongst themselves like stranded toddlers fighting for a Conch shell.
Honestly, this power steal feels like something taken right out of a #Russian playbook.
These #unethical #Conservatives realized they could only obtain power by taking out competing parties and stealing their votes.
#Disgraceful and #undemocratic. If this is considered acceptable behaviour, Canadian #democracy is broken and we’re all downright fucked.

CW: Long thread/4
Enter #monopolization. Over the past 40 years, the US government conducted a failed experiment in allowing companies to form monopolies on the theory that these would be "efficient." From Boeing to Facebook, Cigna to InBev, Warner to Microsoft, it's been a catastrophe. The American corporate landscape is dominated by vast, crumbling, ghastly firms whose bad products and worse corporate conduct are locked in a race to see who can attain the most depraved enshittification quickest.

I bitch a lot about the state of #monopolization in our economy, but I almost never have the chance to do something concrete about it. This is one of those rare opportunities!
If you believe, as I do, that consolidation is driving up prices and strangling competition - this is your chance, too. Take five minutes to leave a comment on the #FTC draft #merger guidelines: https://www.regulations.gov/document/FTC-2023-0043-0001
If you read that and thought "Why do I care about some obscure government guidelines?" - or if you already know why you care and just want some easy ammunition for your comment! - check out this backgrounder: https://www.thebignewsletter.com/p/antitrust-guidelines-and-overthrowing
"Two days ago, I asked a question to #Antitrust chief Jonathan Kanter at a Federalist Society event about the role of public comments in this process, and he said that hearing from the public is incredibly important in helping the agencies understand how markets actually work. Thousands of people chimed in a year and a half ago, including doctors, writers, truck drivers, nurses, and software programmers. Now it’s time to do it again. These guidelines are in draft form, they will be finalized soon." - Matt Stoller
It's electrifying to me that there's an actual chance of real movement on this!

...#agroindustrial #lobbies, #monopolization of then possible patents on food is bound to lead to further #oligopolization.
This is my take on a very long, detailed, and well presented article.

was able to charge me $100 for a specialty #prescription because their plan offered by #IACInteractive locked me into using their own #pharmacy. I wonder if we should #advocate for laws against this kind of #monopolization @NewYorkStateAG

It's just a matter of restoring the rule of law, explains Barry Lynn of @openmarkets. Great way to look at it.

The primary aim of #competition in the #freemarket ought to be promoting #differentiation rather than mere low prices, as the former is favorable towards a large distribution of businesses in a sector, whereas the latter drives towards a winner-takes-all #consolidation and #monopolization.
