Editor's Notes
- #13 Big companies like Amazon, Facebook and Google are monopolizing the Internet Solutions and tips Specific fixes for specific problems would minimize any trickle-down effects that the “one-size-fits-all” model would lead to Splitting off cloud computing departments in big companies into their own separate businesses would reduce some of the power they have over consumers Getting rid of the “app tax” would help small businesses save money Don’t get lured into censorship debates because they often resulting conflating real anti-competitive behavior with imaginary abuses
- #14 More Solutions to Problems Offering their own products on platforms they control Solution: Companies should either sell their own products or host third-party markets, not both Acquiring potential competitors prevents small start-up companies from having a fair chance of competing Solution: appointing regulators to undo mergers and break up conglomerates
- #15 Usually consumers have to go through a middleman/gatekeeper to get to a website The middlemen become too powerful when they have the ability to kick someone off the Internet or redirect traffic Solution- cut out the middle man, create an entirely people-run Internet Solution- over-regulation via spreading content filters across the entire Internet Downsides: filters often block important content and can result in losses of important things that are irrelevant to the filter Leads to Internet censorship Hard to enforce
