@mhoye I'm pretty sure any coordination over an industry counts as cartel behavior. Last I checked, that was hella illegal.
Edit: Which is to say I feel there should be grounds for repercussions here.

@bluestarultor ... but you haven't checked. Not really. You've heard things and made assumptions about what the law means, but you haven't checked. You've just heard things and assumed things. @mhoye Oookay, let me rephrase that: this should be illegal even if it isn't, and if it is, I hope there are repercussions. Any such case should ideally be swift with at least one of them already under government investigation. It's not my job to be a legal expert and so I'll leave the rest to them. |

The major companies involved (MS, Google, Amazon, Meta) should very obviously all be broken up. This was true WELL before the pandemic started.
Having this little real competition is very, very bad.
