Tech Monopolies: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

June 26, 2022

imageMan, ain’t this the truth.  John Oliver discusses tech monopolies, and how to address the hidden harm they can do.

From:

  • The tyranny of exclusive App Store control by 2 monopolies that charge anyone who wants to publish an app 30% of their earning
  • The complete control over the order of Search Results of a search & advertisement company with 90% market share
  • The total ownership of the retail marketspace by a single online company

This is pretty grim.
