But #Microsoft is doing good ol' Microsoft things again, now forcing their own apps to open links exclusively in #Edge.
#Outlook first, #Teams will follow later.

The tax-prep industry is dominated by a single firm, #Intuit, who took over tax-prep through its #anticompetitive acquisition of #TurboTax, itself a chimera of multiple companies gobbled up in a decades-long merger orgy.

@pluralistic There is one thing this suit and the issues around it don't address. I often know Amazon Prime's price is not the lowest but I prefer to buy from them because of security. Even Target got hacked through their HVAC software. I have never heard of customer info being stolen from Amazon.

The European #Competition Council (ECC) has proposed a new standard for assessing anticompetitive behavior that incorporates modern microeconomic theory and takes a broader view of #ConsumerWelfare. The ECC standard considers #collusion, systemic exclusionary effects, and significant curtailment of rivals' opportunities to compete as #anticompetitive conduct.

"According to Weigel, merely viewing #Amazon as an #anticompetitive #monopoly understates the transformation that has taken place among small businesses on the site itself. In reality, sellers on Amazon are less like independent entities and more like a hybrid of gig workers and day traders."
